Introduction to Measurement and Calibration
Course Price: $349
Target Learner:
Laboratory Managers, Engineers, Scientists, or Technicians
Course Description:
Introduction to Measurement and Calibration provides a comprehensive foundation in the science of measurement (metrology) and the principles of calibration. Designed for technicians, engineers, scientists, inspectors, and quality professionals, this self-paced course explains how measurements are made, how measurement systems function, and why calibration is essential to producing reliable and technically valid results.
Participants explore the evolution of metrology, measurement standards, traceability, calibration systems, measurement assurance, measurement uncertainty, instrument selection, calibration certificates, and the management of laboratory measurement systems. Practical examples demonstrate how these principles apply across dimensional, electrical, pressure, temperature, mass, flow, and time measurements. The course also introduces quality documentation, recordkeeping, and the role of competent personnel in maintaining reliable measurement systems. These topics align directly with the course content covering metrology fundamentals, standards, measurement systems, calibration, traceability, recordkeeping, measurement assurance, and calibration certificates.
Rather than focusing on individual instruments alone, this course helps learners understand measurement as an integrated system that supports quality, compliance, product realization, and organizational success.
