23
Q

defined by international and maintained at Bureau of Weight and Measures in Paris.

A

International standard

24
Q

represent certain units of measurement to the closest possible accuracy attainable by the science and technology of measurement.

A

International standard

25
-it applies at National Standards laboratories in different countries.
Primary standard
26
The National Bureau of Standards (NBS) is responsible for maintaining the primary standards are not available for use outside the national laboratories.
Primary standard
27
Their principal function is calibration and verification of secondary standards
Primary standard
28
are basic reference standards used by measurement and calibration laboratories in the industry to which they belong.
Secondary standard
29
Each of the laboratory is responsible to its own ?
Secondary standard
30
After the calibration the _________ _______ are returned to the industrial laboratory with a certification of measuring accuracy in terms of primary standard.
Secondary standard
31
are the principal tools of the measurements laboratory.
Working standard
32
They are used to check and calibrate the instruments used in the laboratory in the laboratory or to make comparison measurements in industrial application.
Working standard
33
convert non-electrical signals into electrical signal.
Transducer sensor
34
are required only if the quantity being measured is non-electrical signal such as pressure or temperature.
Transducer sensor
35
is required to process the incoming electrical signal to make it suitable for application to the indicating device.
Signal modifier
36
The signal may need to be amplified until it is of significant amplitude to cause change at the indicating device
Signal modifier
37
is a modifier design to reduce the strength of signal applied at the indicating device.
Voltage divider
38
Wave-shaping circuits such as rectifiers, filters and choppers are also used as modifiers
Signal modifier
39
are deflection type meter for such general-purpose instruments such as voltmeters, current meters or choppers
Indicating devise
40
is the process of comparing an unknown quantity with an accepted standard quantity.
Measurement
41
It involves connecting a measuring instrument into the system under consideration and observing the resulting response on the instrument.
Measurement
42
The measurement thus obtained is quantitative measure of the so-called
True value
43
is used as a term for most the measurements because true-value is very difficult to define.
Expected value
44
are always made nearest to something whether it is stated or not, ______ is never exact.
Measurement
45
The degree to which a measurement conforms to the expected value
Error in measurement
46
Errors can be express either as
Absolute error / per cent of error
47
can be defined as the difference between the expected value and the measured value.
Absolute error
48
is considered to be one half of the smallest measuring unit.
Greatest possible error
49
Machines used in manufacturing often set “_______”, or “______ _____,” or “_____” in which product measurements will be tolerated or accepted before they are considered flawed.
Margin of error Tolerance Range
50
Any measurements within this range are "tolerated" or perceived as correct. This is also known as
Tolerance range
51
Any measurements within this range are "tolerated" or perceived as correct. This is also known as
Tolerance range
