Overview

Precision measurement instruments differ from normal measurement tools because of their ability to measure with a greater degree of precision and accuracy. This course covers rules, calipers, and micrometers, and how to properly use them and interpret their measurements.

By the end of this course, you will be able to

• Explain the difference between precision and accuracy
• Identify the basic components of a measurement
• Identify the key components of the precision rule
