Many of the topics listed in the Certified Calibration Technician (CCT) Body of Knowledge are presented in this comprehensive book which serves as an excellent reference to prepare for the certification exam. This book provides an overview of metrology and calibration principles and practices geared towards intermediate and advanced users with a basic understanding of the subject matter. Examples and figures are used throughout the book to aid in practically applying the material along with a helpful list of acronyms and abbreviations, a glossary of terms, and a bibliography for easy reference.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Very poorly written and edited,
By QualityGuy (Warren, OH) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Metrology Handbook (Hardcover)
I was repeatedly surprised at how poorly this book is written and edited. I'm not even sure where to start. The writing is terrible. Bucher's name is the credited author of the majority of the chapters. Bad idea Jay ... let the writers write. Large sections of his chapters are wholly quoted from other authors and industry standards. It's cumbersome and annoying. An author is supposed to strain the key points from standards and explain them in meaningful ways. I could have just bought the standards and read them myself.His use of questions to introduce a topic is intensely distracting. He literally blows out 8 to 10 questions in a row without saying a thing. Whole paragraphs were only questions with no answers .... When sprinkled in, that technique is effective, but I assure you, its overuse will drive you up the wall in this book. Maybe the really problem here is my concept of what THE Metrology Handbook should look like. Metrology is arguably the cornerstone discipline of quality and reliability engineering. And in recent decades, no one has stepped forward to edit and publish a handbook on the topic - and it certainly deserves one. So I will credit Bucher for his willingness. But to approach the topic with eighth-grade writing is shameful. The Metrology Handbook should be an institution for the generations like Mark's Handbook for Mechanical Engineers or the Machinery Handbook. Teary-eyed grandfathers should hug their granddaughters on graduation day, and hand them their first Metrology Handbook. (I'm a little choked up just thinking about that.) The Metrology Handbook should be an honorable tome. This book is far from that. And where was the publisher? The American Society for Quality checked out on this one. With `Quality' in your name publishing a topic like metrology ... this book should be nothing less than excellent. Only the best managing editors and contributing authors should have been selected. And it should have been peer-reviewed. ASQ has published excellent books for many years. They could publish a better book than this with one-hand tied behind their back. What happened??? P.S. I'd bet my left pinky toe that the first reviewer was paid to write those glowing comments. Way to hit the keywords big guy!

There is better information at internet for free,
This review is from: The Metrology Handbook (Hardcover)
Yes! There is better information at internet for free about metrology. This book provides very general information and its mathematical level is for high school students, not metrologists. Do not waste your money.

5.0 out of 5 stars
An impressive and complete introduction,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Metrology Handbook (Hardcover)
Knowledgeably compiled and skillfully edited by Jay L. Bucher (Manager of Metrology Services, Promega Corporation, and President, Bucherview Metrology Services), The Metrology Handbook is an impressive and complete introduction that begins with the history and philosophy of metrological calibration, then proceeds to extensive presentations on "Quality Systems"; "Metrology Concepts"; "Mathematics and Statistics: The Use in Measurement"; "Uncertainty in Measurement"; Measurement Parameters"; and "Managing A Metrology Department or Calibration Laboratory". A core and seminal addition to professional and academic library collections, The Metrology Handbook is enhanced with a listing of professional associations, an article on "ASQ and Certification"; a glossary of meterology and classification terminology; "Common Conver-sions", and an accompanying CD.
