Nineteen Fact-Filled Charters that contain authoritative treatment of all aspects of dimensional measurement technology make Handbook of Dimensional Measurement the most readable and comprehensive guide available for engineers and technicians engages in the various stages of industrial production. Design engineers, manufacturing engineers, tool and gage makers, quality control specialists, and reliability experts will find a wealth of practical data as well as complete coverage - both basic and advanced - of dimensional measurement techniques and equipment. The Third Edition of this classic book has been completely revised to include the computer and electronics revolution in metrology. Virtually every type of measurement instrument and machine, even the newest devices, can be found in these pages. Hundreds of changes, and additions and scores of new illustrations have been incorporated to assure that Handbook of Dimensional Measurement retains its status as the standard reference for the practitioner of dimensional measurement.

This replaces the hardcover version (978-0-8311-3262-0). It is a paperback/print-on-demand edition. The fourth edition provides comprehensive state-of-the-art treatment of all known dimensional measurement devices and techniques. This unique resource is organized into chapters by gage type and function while individual chapters move from simple to complex, as well as from timeless measurement techniques to the most modern and innovative. It is perfect for industrial practitioners, such as quality engineers, inspectors, and manufacturing engineers engaged in the manufacturer of precision parts. As the single best, most recognized and respected reference on the topic, this new edition maintains its position as the most comprehensive source for dimensional measurement information available! Includes over 12 years of improvements and innovations made by the leading manufacturers of dimensional measurement equipment, hardware, and machinery from the last edition. Describes equipment, hardware, and machinery in explicit narrative detail. Supplements discussions with nearly 600 illustrations, line drawings and photographs. Brings some 40 references to national and international standards up-to-date. Can be used in college-level metrology courses often found in engineering and engineering technology curricula.

Due to their speed, data density, and versatility, optical metrology tools play important roles in today's high-speed industrial manufacturing applications. Handbook of Optical Dimensional Metrology provides useful background information and practical examples to help readers understand and effectively use state-of-the-art optical metrology methods

The Sage Handbook of Measurement is a unique methodological resource in which Walford, Viswanathan and Tucker draw together contributions from leading scholars in the social sciences, each of whom has played an important role in advancing the study of measurement over the past 25 years. Each of the contributors offers insights into particular measurement related challenges they have confronted and how they have addressed these. Each chapter focuses on a different aspect of measurement, so that the handbook as a whole covers the full spectrum of core issues related to design, method and analysis within measurement studies. The book emphasises issues such as indicator generation and modification, the nature and conceptual meaning of measurement error, and the day-to-day processes involved in developing and using measures. The Handbook covers the full range of disciplines where measurement studies are common: policy studies; education studies; health studies; and business studies.

Providing comprehensive, state-of-the-art treatment of all known dimensional measurement devices and techniques, this unique and updated resource is organized into chapters by gage type and function, while individual chapters move from simple to complex, as well as from timeless measurement techniques to the most modern and innovative.
