Content (Syllabus outline):

  • EU classification of metrology (legal, scientific, industrial), international organizations (BIPM, OIML, EURAMET)
  • Basic SI units, definitions and realizations (realization of basic SI units in Slovenia)
  • Basic metrological terms (uncertainty, correction, systematic error, …)
  • Measurement uncertainty (type A(statistical) and type B(non-statistical))
  • Typical uncertainty sources, estimation and calculation of uncertainty, calibration procedures, examples from different technical areas
