Engineering Metrology and Measurements is a textbook designed for students of mechanical engineering and allied disciplines to help them understand the various shop floor measurement techniques and the basics of mechanical measurements. Beginning with a conventional introduction to the principles and standards of measurement, the book takes the reader through important topics of metrology such as limits, fits and tolerances, linear measurements, angular measurements, comparators, optical measurements, inspection, and quality control. The last few chapters discuss the measurement concepts of simple physical parameters, such as force, torque, strain, temperature, and pressure, before introducing the contemporary topic of nanometrology in the last chapter. Adopting an illustrative approach to explain the concepts, the book presents solved numerical problems, practice problems, review questions, and multiple choice questions.
