Mechanical Measurement and Metrology [for Gujarat Technological University and other Autonomous Universities /Colleges]

Product Overview & Details

The book presents the principles, techniques and applications of measurement science in a clear and systematic manner. The book is designed to cater to undergraduate mechanical engineering students and provides a balanced treatment of classical metrology and modern mechanical measurement systems.

Beginning with the Fundamentals of Metrology, Standards of Measurement, Accuracy, Precision and error analysis, the text gradually advances to detailed discussions on Linear, Angular and Taper Measurements. Topics such as Limits, Fits, Tolerances, Gauging Systems and Interchangeability are explained in accordance with relevant Indian Standards, ensuring strong conceptual clarity and industrial relevance.

The book offers in-depth coverage of Comparators, Screw Thread Measurement, Gear Measurement and Surface Finish Metrology, followed by comprehensive treatment of Mechanical Measurement and Instrumentation. Modern topics including Transducers, Signal Conditioning, Amplifiers, Force Torque, Strain, Pressure and Temperature Measurement are presented with practical illustrations and Calibration Methods. Advanced measurement techniques such as CMMs, laser-based instruments, optical measurements and interferometry further enhance the applicability of the text to contemporary manufacturing and quality control practices.
