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 book integrates knowledge from basic sciences and engineering disciplines, compiled by experts from internationally known metrology and testing institutions, and academe, as well as from industry, and conformity-assessment and accreditation bodies. The Commission of the European Union has expressed this as there is no science without measurements, no quality without testing, and no global markets without standards.

Metrology is the scientific study of measurement that establishes a common understanding of units, which is crucial in linking human activities. The three overlapping activities of metrology are the definition, realization and traceability of the units of measurement. There are three basic sub-fields of metrology in which these activities are used. They are scientific or fundamental metrology, technical or industrial metrology, and legal metrology. Study of scientific metrology is focused on the units of measurement, the development of new measurement methods, the realisation of measurement standards, and the transfer of traceability from these standards to users in a society. Technical metrology studies are based on the application of measurement to manufacturing and other processes and their use in society. Legal metrology is based on the activities that result from statuatory requirements, measurements, units of measurement, measuring instruments and their methods of measurement. This book provides significant information of this discipline to help develop a good understanding of metrology and related fields. Its objective is to give a general view of the different areas of this discipline, and its applications. Researchers and students in this field will be assisted by this book.
