Beginner's Guide to Measurement in Mechanical Engineering

A practical shop floor guide that moves from hand tools and Abbe's principle through calibration, traceability and measurement system analysis. The second half is a detailed introduction to GD&T with inspection methods for each geometric feature.

Carl Hitchens

A full handbook on running a measurement laboratory with confidence, from control charts and statistical analysis to laboratory evaluation and documentation. Written by NIST for calibration and testing laboratories.

John K. Taylor and Henry V. Oppermann

Twenty two peer reviewed studies on measurement in modern manufacturing, covering machine vision, on machine measurement, precision positioning and surface inspection. Each chapter includes diagrams, experimental setups and measured results.

Kuang-Chao Fan and Peter Kinnell

A conceptual framework that explains what measurement means in physics, in engineering and in the human sciences alike. Builds a shared vocabulary for quantities, scales and measurement quality across every field that measures.

Luca Mari, Mark Wilson, Andrew Maul

Applies metrological thinking to health outcomes and other human measurements used in high stakes decisions. Covers traceability, uncertainty and comparability for instruments that measure people rather than parts.

William P. Fisher, Stefan J. Cano (Editors)
