Arrangement of the metrology field is a condition to satisfy a series of needs in science, health care, industry, assurance of quantity and quality of products and services, quality system, environment protection, etc. In the case that metrology field is not able to satisfy the needs that meets, it would represent the limit in work and development of other fields, in which it plays a significant role. Consequences of that state may be very serious, with financial losses higher than investments in assurance of suitable state in the field of metrology. However, there are rare examples when for...

The participation of the developing countries in the international commercialization put even stronger emphasis to the operation of the quality systems throughout their whole economy (industry, agriculture, scientific research, public health services, higher education, etc.) The operation of these systems need ever more sophisticated and expensive instruments. These instruments also are a sizable part of national wealth. The stable operation of measuring instruments, which has essential importance in the performance of the quality systems, needs support (background) services and in the...

Abstract. In this work are analysed capabilities and position of the Estonian calibration laboratories. During last 10 years had Estonia changed completely and this involve also the actievity on metrology area. Basic change was this, that on the socialist time was verification mandatory for almost all measuring instruments, now shall it be replaced greatly by voluntary calibration. Huge problem for Estonian calibration laboratories was the reference standards traceability. On the previous time it came from the Soviet Union metrological institutes. Now the main laboratory reference standards...

In most of the industrialized countries manufacturers of measuring instruments and bodies rendering services for tests and calibrations have to have calibrations and tests repeated at present. With more than 230 countries recognized by the UNO and about 100 countries active on the world market, this is a considerable cost factor for the supplier, and a waste of resources for the national economies. Starting off on the basis of the status quo in fundamental, industrial and legal metrology and the relevant institutions, the necessary measures to be taken to achieve world wide recognition of...

The least developed countries of the world whose internal developments are uneven and diversified may not be able to sustain in a globalised world if their products can not compete with the products of developed countries. Further, the competitive strength of a nation in global development is measured through production and market flexibility, information flow, sound financial base, adequate legal framework for business and commerce, skilled personnel and modern style of management process. The export items of those countries are very much confined to traditional commodities with less export...

In the paper the metrology information system is introduced. A small country such as Slovenia has a distributed system of metrological laboratories and therefore a strong need for efficient control of all relevant data exists. Data scheme is based on questionnaires that were delivered to calibration and test laboratories providing information on best measurement capabilities of a laboratory, calibration intervals, their activities, traceability schemes, etc. The computerised metrology information system uses client – server environment whereas the paper also deals with possibilities of...

Currently the 75 % of the metal products obtained in the metal processing industry are produced by machining methods. Due to the importance of the subject, many detailed studies are being undertaken in the related fields. The frequently encountered problems in the machining processes are the selection and determination of the cutting and propagation parameter values, tool geometry, material of the piece to be produced, cutting medium and the cutting equipment. Briefly, a proper and suitable selection of these parameters is achieved by providing a database for the machining operation, which...
