Mechanical Engineering: Metrology studies a range of measuring devices, instruments, and equipment used in engineering measurements. It has been written to enable the students of Mechanical Engineering and Manufacturing Technology to understand and learn the basic theoretical concepts and practical aspects associated with Metrology which is the science of measurement. The book deals the relevant theory and practical aspects of Metrology in the form of text, question–answer, review/evaluative questions, and work sheets in an integrated manner. Extensive usages of diagrams/figures and numerical calculations have been done to make the fundamentals and principles of Metrology more clear and easier to understand. At the end of book, Multiple Choice Questions, Objective Type Questions, Review Questions, Revision Questions, Evaluative Questions, Glossary of Terms, University Model Question Papers, Appendix, Tables, S.I. Units, and Conversion Factors have been provided. The problems given in this book are designed to test and sharpen the students’ basic skills and knowledge in engineering measurements. Attempting and answering these questions will promote self-study and learning amongst students and build confidence in them.
