Historical context of
Measurement
Magna Carta - 1215
Insights
Lord Kelvin (1824 – 1907)
"To measure is to know."
"If you can not measure it, you can not
improve it.“
Galileo (1564 – 1642)
“We must measure what is measureable
and make measureable what cannot be
measured.”
Metrology:
Science and application of measurement
secure measurements
and reference data

basic science

Variance in climate models

The CIPM Mutual Recognition Arrangement
The CIPM Mutual Recognition Arrangement
(CIPM MRA) was signed on 14 October, 1999
by the Directors of the National Metrology
Institutes of 38 States signatories to the Metre
Convention and two international
organizations.
The essence of the CIPM MRA is that it
provides the institutional and technical
framework (the “what”, “who” and “how”) for
NMIs to recognize each others’ measurement
standards and calibration certificates.

Regional Metrology Organisations (RMO)
RMOs coordinate the collaboration
between National Metrology Institutes (NMI) within a region

EURAMET Mission
Our mission is to:
Develop and disseminate an appropriate, integrated and cost effective
measurement infrastructure for Europe taking into account the needs
of end users in industry, business and Government
Ensure that the European measurement infrastructure is internationally
competitive and recognised, and is based on robust and high quality
science and R&D
Support members in meeting their own national requirements through
collaboration and a balanced European measurement infrastructure

Advances in Time Measurement
The Longitude Act 1714:
£20,000 for longitude determination to 0.5 degree
Equivalent to a total accuracy of 2 mins in a 6-week journey across
the Atlantic. To demonstrate this, Harrison’s clock needed to be
accurate to ~ 1 part in 30,000, or
3 seconds per day
Today’s primary Cs microwave clock: 1 second in 130 million years
Optical atomic clocks (projected):
15
1 second in 13 billion years

Recent advances in Radiotherapy:
Rapid uptake of new treatment delivery methods,
including Tomotherapy; CyberKnife; Flattening Filter
Free (FFF); Stereotactic Ablative Body RT (SABR);
Rotational Intensity Modulated RT introduce:
Use of a greater number of smaller treatment
fields
improved shaping of dose distributions around
tumour
sparing healthy tissue and improving quality of
life
enabling dose escalation to the tumour
Higher dose rates and dynamic delivery
giving much reduced treatment times
However, this results in:
an increased need for treatment delivery
verification
a breakdown in traditional dosimetry
assumptions

The future factory
Design and manufacture will be integrated into a single
engineering process, to enable “right first time” every time
fabrication of bespoke products with a focus on:
• Smart design and on-demand manufacturing
• Waste and energy reduction
• Advanced processing and production
