Learning outcomes
The subject is focused on the basics of metrology and the theory of measurement in technical practice and the basic principles of measuring instruments. Students are introduced to measurement methods, measuring quantities and their units. The properties of individual measuring devices are discussed. Attention is focused on temperature, pressure and force, length, flow, humidity, amount of heat, analysis of liquids and gases and a number of other technical quantities.
