Facts regarding measurement -
• Can you ever measure the true value of
something?
− No, there will always be errors
• How important is this fact?
− Very important, as measurement is never complete
unless you know how good it is!
• How is this taken into account in today’s
calibration & metrology?
− By applying & documenting the measurement uncertainty
process to the tests being done
