Metrology and Maintenance Role of Metrology in Enhancing Maintenance Programs Waleed ALFARIS Director of Business Development GCC LAB The Role of Metrology in Maintenance Program What is Metrology 2 Measurement is every where Let’s speak metrology Main Topics Calibration program Future of Merology 3 The Role of Metrology in Maintenance Program • Measurement is every where • Metrology and Quality Infrastructure • Calibration program • Metrology History and main players • Risk of calibration program • Let’s speak metrology failure • Measurements terminologies important • Decisions are made by to understand measurement • Measurement, accuracy , precision, • ISO standards ISO 10012 tolerance, error, uncertainty, • Communication with calibration traceability Service provider • Calibration and adjustment • Future of Metrology 4 Measurement is every where In everyday life, we all depend on reliable measurements which underpin: 5 History of Metrology ➢ Ancient Egypt: (3000 years BC): The first royal cubit was defined as the length of the forearm from elbow to tip of the extended middle finger of the ruling Pharaoh, plus the width of his hand. ➢ The Roman Mile ➢ Medieval Metrics ➢ Defining the Metre 6 History of Metrology Academic of Sciences BIPM of Paris define the metric decimal system 1st CGPM 10th CGPM 11th CGPM 1799 1875 1889 1954 1960 1973 1999 m m A Mol Signature CIPM MRA kg kg K s cd “universal units” Prototypes: International recognition available to metre The SI was of national measurement everybody kilogram born standards Metrology is the science of measurement covers three main activities: 1. The definition of internationally accepted units of measurement, e.g. the metre. 2. The realisation of units of measurement by scientific methods, e.g. the realization of a metre through the use of lasers. 3. The establishment of traceability chains by determining and documenting the value and accuracy of a measurement and disseminating that knowledge, e.g. the documented relationship between the micrometer screw in a precision engineering workshop and a primary laboratory for optical length metrology. 8 Metrology History 9 Metrology Categories Scientific Industrial Legal 10 History of Metrology Interchangeability - 1st World War (1914-1918) - 2nd World War (1939-1945) -Need for mass production - Interchangeability Standardizing Measurement Practices Liaison and Coordination ● BIPM works to foster cooperation with international organizations and promotes the world-wide comparability of measurement.

Metrology provides: – Measurements that are stable … comparable … and coherent. These are provided by chains of traceability based on the work of the National Metrology Institutes (NMIs). 14 Quality Infrastructure Quality Infrastructure 15 Building blocks of the QI Societal concerns Health, Safety.

The objective of a measurement management system is to manage the risk that measuring equipment and measurement processes could produce incorrect results affecting the quality of an organization’s product. 27 Risk of calibration program failure Decisions are made after measurements !! Quality Safety Cost Measurement instrument Decisions are made based on facts. Properly calibrated equipment deviate by time and usage. Measurement is part of these facts. means less waste. Less waste Calibration identifies the Measurement instrument produces means costs are kept low and deviation to correct the reading proper result if they are properly margins aren’t negatively controlled by calibration program affected.
