Description
The ASQ Metrology Handbook, Third Edition is a comprehensive, expert-developed reference for understanding measurement science and its application across engineering, manufacturing, and quality assurance. Published by ASQ Quality Press in January 2023, this 736-page hardcover addresses the foundational concepts of metrology and calibration as well as advanced topics in measurement uncertainty, quality systems, and regulatory compliance.
The handbook covers seven major content areas: measurement background and history, quality systems frameworks, metrology concepts and principles, mathematical and statistical methods for measurement, uncertainty quantification, specific measurement parameters (electrical, dimensional, thermal, mass, optical, chemical, and biological), and practical guidance for managing metrology departments and calibration laboratories. The third edition incorporates significant updates including a thorough treatment of ISO/IEC 17025:2017 compliance, the 2019 Redefinition of the International System of Units (SI), expanded content on software validation, decision rules and risk analysis, and enhanced chapters on calibration competency and training.
