Metrology is the study of measurement. It includes all theoretical and practical aspects of measurement and may be divided into three subfields: Scientific or fundamental metrology concerns the establishment of measurement units, unit systems, development of new measurement methods, realization of measurement standards and the transfer of traceability from these standards to users in society. This handbook contains articles dealing with general topics of measurement and articles on particular subjects in mechanics and acoustics, electricity, optics, temperature, time and frequency, chemistry, medicine and particles. The contributions of the first part are sumamrized as follows. Introduction Units Fundamental Constants Fundamentals of Materials Measurement and Testing Measurement of Mass Desnity Measurement and Instrumentation of Flow Ultrasonics Measurement of Basic Electromagnetic Quantities Quantum Electrical Standards Metrology of Time and Frequency Temperature Measurement Metrology in Medicine

This Dictionary of Weighing Terms is a comprehensive practical guide to the terminology of weighing for all users of weighing instruments in industry and science. It explains more than 1000 terms of weighing technology and related areas; numerous illustrations assist understanding. The Dictionary of Weighing Terms is a joint work of the German Federal Institute of Physics and Metrology (PTB) and METTLER TOLEDO, the weighing instruments manufacturer. Special thanks go to Peter Brandes, Michael Denzel, and Dr. Oliver Mack of PTB, and to Richard Davis of BIPM, who with their technical knowledge have contributed to the success of this work. The Dictionary contains terms from the following fields...

M. Kochsiek, M. Glaser (eds.) Comprehensive Mass Metrology Mass determination is of fundamental importance for science, technology and economics. Technical measuring systems range from ultramicro balances to weighing machines for freight trains; massive objects range from subatomic particles to galaxies. Comprehensive and topical, this reference work -- edited by scientists of the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, Germany -- covers the whole field of mass determination. Starting from physical foundations, it describes virtually all measurement techniques in detail and gives a thorough overview over scientific experiments related to the determination of masses. Reports on contemporary problems, such as a new definition of the kilogram, historical excursions and a list of references without competition make this book an absolute must for everyone dealing with questions relating to mass determination in fundamental research, technical application, calibration service, and standardization. From the contents: - Mass as a Physical Quantity - The Determination of Mass - Mass Comparators - Quantities Derived from Mass and their Determination
Die Massebestimmung hat eine zentrale Bedeutung in Wissenschaft, Technik und Wirtschaft. Von der Mikrowaage bis zu Wägesystemen für Güterzugwaggons, vom Massenspektrometer bis zur Bestimmung der Massen von Himmelskörpern reichen die Geräte und Verfahren. Dieses Buch, von Wissenschaftlern der Physikalisch-Technischen Bundesanstalt herausgegeben, gibt einen Überblick über das gesamte Gebiet. Es spannt den Bogen von den physikalischen Grundlagen - einschließlich aktueller Fragenstellungen, z.B. zu der Neudefinition des Kilogramm - über das SI-System, praktisch allen Wägeverfahren bis hin zu wissenschaftlichen Experimenten oder Beobachtungen. Laien und Fachleute werden gleichermassen angesprochen. Ausführliche Ausflüge in die Geschichte und eine wohl konkurrenzlos umfassende Literatursammlung runden dieses Standardwerk ab. Das Buch wendet sich an alle, die in Grundlagenforschung, technischer Anwendung oder Normungsfragen mit dem Thema befaßt sind, an Lehrer und nicht zuletzt an Wissenschaftshistoriker.
