❑ The extensiveness, essence and scientific significance of measurement technology: ➢“Whatever exists, exists in some amount.” ➢“I often say that when you can measure what you are speaking about and express it in numbers, you know something about it, and when you cannot measure it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of meager and unsatisfactory kind. It may be the beginning of knowledge, but you have scarcely, in your thought, advanced to the stage, whatever the matter be.” 1.1 Measurement technology: background and development -- Lord Kelvin (William Thompson)
1. 1 Measurement technology: background and development cLassification of physical quantities(in terms of time-dependent properties) Static quantities and dynamic quantities aStatic quantity: does not vary or varies slowly with time ODynamic quantity: varies rapidly with time aStatic measurement: the measurement of a static quantity ODynamic measurement: the measurement of a dynamic quantity
❑Classification of physical quantities (in terms of time-dependent properties): ➢Static quantities and dynamic quantities ❑Static quantity: does not vary or varies slowly with time. ❑Dynamic quantity: varies rapidly with time. ❑Static measurement:the measurement of a static quantity. ❑Dynamic measurement:the measurement of a dynamic quantity. 1.1 Measurement technology: background and development

❑Whether a measurement is static or dynamic is totally relative, sometimes they can be changed with each other. ❑The kind of the measurement to be performed depends on: ➢what is measured; ➢what are the requirements on the measurement: ▪ accuracy, stability, etc. 1.1 Measurement technology: background and development
