Handbook of Metrology and Testing, 2nd Edition
Author: Czichos, Horst; Saito, Tetsuya; Smith, Leslie E. (Eds.) | Size: 34.4 MB | Format: PDF | Publisher: Springer | Year: 2011 | pages: 1262 | ISBN: 9783642166402
Offers advanced methods for materials measurement and characterization from the macroscopic to the nanometer scale
Special emphasis on test procedures
Incorporates extensive references to primary data sources
Delivers a wealth of up-to-date references
This Springer Handbook of Metrology and Testing presents the principles of Metrology – the science of measurement – and the methods and techniques of Testing – determining the characteristics of a given product – as they apply to chemical and microstructural analysis, and to the measurement and testing of materials properties and performance, including modelling and simulation.
The principal motivation for this Handbook stems from the increasing demands of technology for measurement results that can be used globally. Measurements within a local laboratory or manufacturing facility must be able to be reproduced accurately anywhere in the world. The Commission of the European Union has expressed this as follows:
There is no science without measurements, no quality without testing, and no global markets without standards.
The Handbook is organized in five parts. Part A: Fundamentals of Metrology and Testing. Part B: Chemical and Microstructural Analysis. Part C: Materials Properties Measurement. Part D: Materials Performance Testing. Part E: Modeling and Simulation Methods.
