Basic Dimensional Measurement Tools and Methods

"The quality and depth of instruction was much better than I imagined."

Before workers can contribute to any measurement-based improvement efforts, they must be proficient in using and reading basic measuring devices. This program is a practical, efficient way to build workers' skills and knowledge.

Basic Dimensional Measurement Tools and Methods builds a solid foundation of skills that workers can use across a broad spectrum of applications. It forms the basis for mastering more advanced measuring tasks to ensure that you'll get the most accurate measurements possible. With this program, workers will master the essentials of handling, applying and reading the most common gages on today's shop floors from steel rules to micrometers and height gages.

Errors! Errors! Errors! What good is a measurement result if it has been measured incorrectly? There are many sources of measurement errors that can be easily avoided if we know how to recognize them. We focus on common measurement errors and how to avoid them!

(Basic Measuring Tools is also offered as a Self-Directed Learning option.)
