PMA-1016 Dimensional Measuring

You may be required to measure specific part features to determine whether they meet part quality requirements. In this module, you’ll learn about the equipment and procedures used to perform dimensional measurement. You will find out how to correctly use micrometers, calipers, and indicators to measure piece parts and how to establish zero on micrometers and indicators. You will also discover the importance of calibration.
