The objective of the course is to provide the trainee with the skills needed to use a range of small items of measuring instruments for linear and angular measurement.

There are no prior requirements for this course.

Course Content

• Describe how standard instruments can be adapted for special applications 
• Explain the causes of errors when using small dimensional metrology instruments 
• Select the most appropriate tool for measurement 
• Prepare instruments for measurement
• Build a gauge block stack 
• Read a scale and express standard conventions
• Calculate the sine of an angle
