Industrial inspection and measurement
The physical quantities of quality control: what they represent, how they are measured and with which instruments.
The Inspection section brings together the pages devoted to the physical quantities measured in quality control and industrial process control: dimension, speed, temperature, pressure, force, hardness, moisture and many more. Unlike the Technologies (operating theory) and Applications and solutions (practical cases) sections, the approach here centres on the measured quantity: how it is defined, in which units it is expressed and with which instruments it is determined accurately.
Each area below explores a family of quantities in depth and points to the most suitable instruments and solutions. Among the featured topics are continuous length measurement and the speed of moving materials, carried out without contact using optical speed sensors and encoders.
