NPL Level 1 Dimensional Training
To provide:
- The underpinning knowledge and expertise for anyone who uses measurement tools or requires an appreciation of the importance of measurement
- The principle knowledge and practical training for people who are required to use dimensional measurement techniques to complete their daily tasks
- The tools to instill and encourage questioning culture
Enabling:
- An understanding of the fundamentals of standards, traceability, calibration,uncertainty, repeatability, drawing symbols and geometrical tolerances, the importanceof the relationship between tolerances and measuring equipment and be able to question the measurement.
Level 1 is applicable to all industrial sectors as a stand-alone qualification or as a building block for further NPL Dimensional Measurement Training levels – 2 & 3.
Intended audience
- Anyone using measurement equipment in the workplace
- Manufacturing & engineering personnel
- Design staff
- Production supervisors & managers
- Quality control personnel
- Measurement technicians
- Process planners
- Apprentices
Course Agenda
Day 1
- Geometric Product Specification (A)
- What is GPS?
- Drawing practice and geometrical tolerances
Day 2
- Measurement principles & methods (A)
- Successful measurements, standards, traceability, calibration, uncertainty & units
- Relationship between tolerances and measuring equipment using micrometers & callipers
- Repeatability & reproducability of measurements
Day 3
- Measurement principles & methods (B)
- Relationship between tolerances & measuring equipment by the use of:
- Height gauges
- Dial test indicators
- Dial gauges
- Plug gauges
- Gap gauges
- Temperature effects
NB: Fundamental Measurement Calculation is incorporated into all 3 days including powers, scientific notification & triangles. This is achieved by understanding the relationship of these calculations when applied to tolerance zones and practical measuring tasks. A workbook of evidence must be completed successfully during the training course and, where required, post assessment tasks can be set for each individual to be completed in the workplace. To enhance knowledge transfer the course involves workbook exercises covering all aspects. EAL accreditation can be added as an Optional extra and will help toward your staffs Continual Personal Development record.
