The fifth edition provides comprehensive state-of-the-art treatment of all known dimensional measurement devices and techniques. New in the Fifth Edition are two chapters covering:
-
New Developments in Dimensional Measurement
-
The Measurement of Geometric Dimensions and Tolerances
The Handbook of Dimensional Measurement is a unique resource organized into chapters by gage (gauge) type and function. Individual chapters move from simple to complex, from timeless measurement techniques to the most modern and innovative. As the single best (and most recognized and respected) reference on engineering measurement, the Fifth Edition improves its position as the most comprehensive source for dimensional measurement information available!
