Metrology in a sentence

By catching defects early and monitoring quality throughout the production process, metrology helps manufacturers save time and money.

Principal Research Scientist Geun Woo Lee from the Space Metrology Group said, "Using the electrostatic levitation device, we can implement a microgravity environment similar to space to precisely measure the thermophysical properties of materials.

Salazar also provided an overview of metrology through its history, key categories, essential concepts, including the measures and International System of Units.

This decision was taken after a series of consultations involving key stakeholders such as industries and industry associations and representatives of state legal metrology departments.

Scientific metrology is the foundation of the other two fields.

Dr Kemjika indicated that it would progress the establishment of a regional metrology system recognised at the international level.

Rudolph Technologies, Inc. designs, develops, manufactures, and supports process control defect inspection and metrology, advanced packaging lithography, and data analysis systems and software used in microelectronic device manufacturing.

The report stated that in 75 cases offenders were prosecuted for violation of the Legal Metrology Act and Rules.

The Department of Metrology request Naval and fishing communities to refrain from naval activities around the country.

Dimensions, metrology, requirements, and testing.

For example, thin film metrology based on ellipsometry or reflectometry is used to tightly control the thickness of gate oxide, as well as the thickness, refractive index and extinction coefficient of photoresist and other coatings.

Initially conceived as purely a metrology agency, the Bureau of Standards was directed by Herbert Hoover to set up divisions to develop commercial standards for materials and products.

It does so through a series of consultative committees, whose members are the national metrology laboratories of the Convention's member states, and through its own laboratory work.

It is responsible for the running of ten consultative committees (CCs), each of which investigates different aspects of metrology – one CC discusses the measurement of temperature, another the measurement of mass and so on.

Metrology systems and devices may use several basic methods to increase their basic dynamic range.

Multimeters used for critical measurements may be part of a metrology program to assure calibration.

Not all calibration is an affair for metrology labs.

Quality management systems call for an effective metrology system which includes formal, periodic, and documented calibration of all measuring instruments.

See Metrology for other factors that are considered during calibration process development.

Since 1889 the magnitude of the kilogram has been defined as the mass of an object called the international prototype kilogram, citation often referred to in the professional metrology world as the "IPK".
