Metrology Parts has announced the release of its latest resource, “Understanding the Three Branches of Metrology.” This resource provides an overview of the three branches of metrology by looking at the fundamental principles, each specific branch, how the branches are integrated, and the future of scientific measurements.

In metrology, the three branches are scientific, industrial, and legal. The scientific branch is the foundation of the science of measurement and is where the standards, measurement units, and measurement methods are developed. The scientific branch is also responsible for national and industry standards organizations, including the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

The industrial branch is responsible for applying measurements to industrial processes, including manufacturing and aerospace, and this branch handles testing and product quality. The legal branch focuses on ensuring fair trade and promoting consumer health and safety, and it also applies statutes, regulations, and enforcement to measurements and their usage. Each of the three branches has an important role in metrology and is intertwined in how the other branches operate as well. “The science of measurement is integral to modern life, embedded in every industry and supporting a higher quality of life,” according to Metrology Parts.
