1.15. 1.15.1. Effects of Environment—Temperature. Many applications specify tolerances in microns. It may be appreciated that 25 mm of steel will lengthen about 0.3 microns when its temperature is increased by 1°C. Obviously for precision measurements in terms of microns, error of 0.3 microns just by change of 1°C temperature is substantial. It should be […]
1.16. The output of a measuring system may be linear or non-linear. As long as the output is repeatable, it can always be calibrated, but for a non-linear system the construction of calibration curve becomes tedious, cumbersome and time-consuming. For a liner system, a simple two or three point calibration is sufficient and recalibration is […]
