NOSC Metrology Laboratory: Capabilities Summary.
Abstract
The Naval Ocean Systems Center's Metrology Laboratory, operated by the Product Assurance Division, Code 931, is located in building 128, rooms 142 and 143, Bayside. The Laboratory, with more than 1000 pieces of precision standard and special measuring equipment, is well equipped to perform almost any measurement of size, form, and finish that may be required. For example, the Laboratory has the basic capability of measuring linear dimensions to 0.000002 inch and angular dimensions to 0.1 second of arc. In addition, features of form such as froundness, concentricity, flatness, perpendicularity, and parallelism can be checked. The Laboratory includes instruments to measure surface finish, material hardness, spring forces, and deflection. Also included are optical measuring devices such as flats and squares, as well as an optical dividing head. Other optical equipment such as reflection mirrors, microscopes, optical targets, alignment telescopes, collimators, and monochromatic light sources are availble, as are 14-inch and 30-inch optical comparators. Special measurement requirements usually can be met by utilizing a combination of available standard measuring equipment. Personnel associated with the Laboratory are available to discuss unusual measurement requirements. (Author)
