Precision figure metrology at the National Institute of Standards and Technology

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

Metrologists frequently invoke the “gauge maker’s rule” where the measuring instrument has a factor of at least four (and preferably ten) greater accuracy than the component or dimension to be measured. The optician, by contrast, frequently uses interferometers no more accurate than the part being made.
