Techniques
Measurement
Procedure in which an unknown quantity is compared to a known standard, using an
accepted and consistent system of units
- The measurement may involve a simple linear rule to scale the length of a part
- Or it may require a sophisticated measurement of force versus deflection during a tension test
- Measurement provides a numerical value of the quantity of interest, within certain limits of accuracy and precision
Inspection
Procedure in which a part or product feature, such as a dimension, is examined to determine whether or not it conforms to design specification
- Many inspections rely on measurement techniques, while others use gaging methods
- Gaging determines simply whether the part characteristic meets or does not meet the design specification
- Gaging is usually faster than measuring, but not much information is provided about feature of interest
