Reflecting the latest changes in standards and technology, market-leading FUNDAMENTALS OF DIMENSIONAL METROLOGY, 6e combines hands-on applications with authoritative, comprehensive coverage of the principles, techniques, and devices used within today's dimensional metrology field. The Sixth Edition has been thoroughly revised and updated in direct response to reviewer feedback. The new edition features an easier to understand presentation, a new lab manual/workbook, updated photos and illustrations and updated references to measurement standards.. The text continues to use both metric and imperial systems but emphasizes metric measurement devices and concepts in all examples for greater consistency with the latest industry trends. An all-new lab manual/workbook includes lab projects as well as workbook questions that correspond with each chapter in the book. The revised table of contents provides comprehensive coverage along with more effective content flow. New web resources link learners with the latest developments from the field as well as provide opportunities for further exploration of chapter content. Bringing chapter concepts to life, vivid new photos and detailed illustrations enhance content clarity and improve student understanding. Revised tables and charts provide the most current information available. References are completely up to date with today's measurement standards. Instructor Resources are now included on the text website. FUNDAMENTALS OF DIMENSIONAL METROLOGY, 6e emphasizes real-world application throughout the text. Focusing on practical application and understanding, end-of-chapter questions enable readers to check their understanding as they progress through the book.
