  2. Coordinate-measuring machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinate-measuring_machine

    For a CMM using a touch probe, this relates to the repeatability of the probe and the accuracy of the linear scales. Typical probe repeatability can result in measurements within one micron or 0.00005 inch (half a ten thousandth) over the entire measurement volume. For 3, 3+2, and 5 axis machines, probes are routinely calibrated using traceable ...

  3. French catheter scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_catheter_scale

    The French scale, also known as the French gauge or Charrière system, is a widely used measurement system for the size of catheters.It is commonly abbreviated as Fr but may also be abbreviated as Fg, FR or F, and less frequently as CH or Ch (referencing its inventor, Charrière).

  4. Dimensional metrology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensional_metrology

    A CMM is based on CNC technology to automate measurement of Cartesian coordinates using a touch probe, contact scanning probe, or non-contact sensor. Optical comparators are used when physically touching the part is undesirable; components that consist of fragile or mailable materials require measurement using non-contact techniques.

  5. Centimetre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centimetre

    Different lengths as in respect to the electromagnetic spectrum, measured by the metre and its derived scales.The microwave is in-between 1 meter to 1 millimeter.. A centimetre or centimeter (US/Philippine spelling), with SI symbol cm, is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI) equal to one hundredth of a metre, centi being the SI prefix for a factor of ⁠ 1 / 100 ⁠.

  6. Universal measuring machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_measuring_machine

    Universal measuring machines (UMM) are measurement devices used for objects in which geometric relationships are the most critical element, with dimensions specified from geometric locations (see GD&T) rather than absolute coordinates. [1] The very first uses for these machines was the inspection of gauges and parts produced by jig grinding. [1]

  7. Centimetre or millimetre of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centimetre_or_millimetre...

    A centimetre of water [1] is a unit of pressure. It may be defined as the pressure exerted by a column of water of 1 cm in height at 4 °C (temperature of maximum density) at the standard acceleration of gravity, so that 1 cmH 2 O (4°C) = 999.9720 kg/m 3 × 9.80665 m/s 2 × 1 cm = 98.063754138 Pa ≈ 98.0638 Pa, but conventionally a nominal maximum water density of 1000 kg/m 3 is used, giving ...

  8. Pace (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pace_(unit)

    In the United States the pace is an uncommon customary unit of length denoting a brisk single step and equal to 2 + 1 ⁄ 2 feet or 30.0 inches or 76.2 centimetres. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] The Ancient Roman pace ( Latin : passus ) was notionally the distance of a full stride from the position of one heel where it raised off of the ground to where it set ...

  9. Indicator (distance amplifying instrument) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indicator_(distance...

    Ideal test indicator pushed. Prior to modern geared dial mechanisms, test indicators using a single lever or systems of levers were common. The range and precision of these devices were generally inferior to modern dial type units, with a range of 10/1000 inch to 30/1000 inch, and precision of 1/1000 inch being typical.
