The International System of Units, Traceability, and Calibration

Consistent and well-defined units, much like terminology, are critical in the comparison of measurement results and to the understanding of measurement uncertainty. This chapter provides a history of the International System of Units, or “SI,” and a moder

Preface

This book is the result of many years of collaboration between the Primary Standards Laboratory and the Statistical Sciences Department at Sandia National Laboratories. Project work together, publications, and many discussions regarding how to best use statistics in metrology have culminated in this manuscript. With this book, we wish to present statistical best practices to both students and practitioners of metrology. The book brings together in one place many of the basic statistical methods that have been applied to problems in metrology, plus much more. It not only includes methods presented in the JCGM 100 “Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement” (aka, the GUM), but also presents topics in metrology seldom covered elsewhere. These topics include the design of experiments and statistical process control in metrology, uncertainties in curve fitting, assessment of binary measurement systems, and sample size det
