Abstract
Dimensional metrology is the measurement of the deviations of a workpiece from its intended size and shape. The aim of dimensional metrology is to ensure that the size and shape of the workpiece conform to the designer’s wish. This in turn ensures that the workpiece will assemble into associated assembly workpieces and the static characteristics of the workpiece have therefore been satisfied. In engineering, there are three types of metrology: dimensional, surface, and physical. This chapter first gives an inductive discussion of these three types of metrology and surface irregularities that can be measured by them.
