Basic Measuring Tools
Our Basic Measuring Tools training series is based on Routsis Training’s exclusive SkillSet™ training model. This unique learning experience combines detailed, step-by-step online video instruction with hands-on worksheets.
These courses teach participants correct usage and procedures for verifying the accuracy of measuring devices used at your facility.
Each of the twenty-one video/worksheet combinations focuses on a particular measuring tool. The steps outlined in each course ensure the tool is being used properly — and providing reliable measurements.
Users will learn best-practices for handling and storing measuring equipment, stabilizing tools and part features for improved accuracy, and how to perform a simplified verification (also known as a “Field Check”) for each tool covered in the training series.
BACKGROUND: Ensures your technicians understand the common uses and functionality of each measuring tool PURPOSE: Users learn specifically what each Basic Measuring Tools SkillSet™ will cover EQUIPMENT: Items are shown and listed to ensure individuals know which tools and equipment they need to succeed PROCEDURE: Each step is demonstrated so your inspectors can perform the worksheets with accuracy and confidence WORKSHEET: Contains detailed information & step-by-step instructions required to successfully complete each lab The Basic Measuring Tools series is ideal for operators, inspectors, technicians, engineers, machinists, quality and maintenance personnel, research and development, metrology, field support, tooling – or anyone that works with measuring tools in any industry.
These courses discuss common gauges, indicators, calipers and micrometers. Both analog and digital displays are covered — as well as both Imperial and Metric units, making these courses relevant to a wide range of applications and manufacturing facilities around the world.
