Measurement Across the Sciences

An introduction to measurement written for mechanical engineers who are new to metrology. Covers units, standards, traceability and the practical sources of error that affect everyday measurements in engineering.

NPL

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

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.
