The module "Measurement of Non-Electrical Quantities" prioritises the acquirement of basic methodological and application-oriented knowledge to determine physical values. Used physical effects, theoretical fundamentals and corresponding sensors are presented in the lecture and the exercises. The aim of the training is to gain the ability to analyse a metrological problem, to select sensors and methods to solve the problem and eventually to propose and realise practical solutions.
Elementary metrological terms, physical effects, metrological principles, typical parameters and transfer characteristics of sensors for mechanical, thermal, optical and chemical values are discussed in the lecture. Ultrasonic methods and laser based metrological methods are discussed as well. Additional exercises are associated to the respective chapters in the lecture, where metrological question are solved by calculations.
