BASIC DIMENSIONAL MEASUREMENT TOOLS AND METHODS
"The quality and depth of instruction was much
better than I imagined."
Before workers can contribute to any measurement-based improvement efforts, they must be
proficient in using and reading basic measuring devices. This program is a practical, efficient
way to build workers' skills and knowledge.
Basic Dimensional Measurement Tools and Methods builds a solid foundation of skills that workers can use across a broad
spectrum of applications. It forms the basis for mastering more advanced measuring tasks to
ensure that you'll get the most accurate measurements possible.
With this program, workers will master the essentials of handling, applying and reading the most
common gages on today's shop floors from steel rules to micrometers and height gages.
Errors! Errors! Errors! What good is a measurement result if
it has been measured incorrectly? There are many sources of
measurement errors that can be easily avoided if we know how to
recognize them. We focus on common measurement errors and how to
avoid them! |
