Guides for choosing and using your equipment
Written by our metrology team from the courses we teach: how to pick the right machine, read a drawing, measure accurately, and keep instruments in good shape.
Guides
Choosing the right measuring machine
Optical, vision, CMM, or form measurement: how to match the machine to the part, the tolerance, and the volume.
GuideUnderstanding your calibration certificate
What each section of a certificate means, what it doesn't tell you, and why uncertainty and traceability matter.

Standards of length, where measurement errors come from, and how micrometers and calipers are calibrated.
GuideHow MESCO calibrates a caliper
Inside our lab: the traceability behind every result, the standards we use, and each check a caliper goes through.
GuideGD&T measurement 101
Reading an engineering drawing, the five kinds of geometric tolerance, and how each one is measured.
GuideCaring for your precision measuring instruments
Before, during, and after use: care for micrometers, calipers, bore gauges, height gauges, and indicators.
Seminars and training
Hands-on courses from these guides and more, from reading calibration certificates to GD&T, in our Pasig building or at your plant.
