Title: Coordinate measurement validation
Inventor: STEVEN ALLEN
IPC: G01B21/04
Filed: 2019-01-24
Abstract: Measuring and validating a dimensional feature of a component for compliance with a specification value of the feature comprises the steps of (a) measuring the dimensional feature of the component to a measurement level of accuracy using a co-ordinate measurement machine; (b) comparing the measurement level of accuracy of the measurement of the dimensional feature with a predetermined level of accuracy; (c) reformatting the measurement level of accuracy of the measurement of the dimensional feature to a level equal to the predetermined level of accuracy when the measurement level of accuracy is greater than the predetermined level of accuracy; and (d) comparing the reformatted measurement of the dimensional feature to the specification value for the dimensional feature, and validating the reformatted measurement when it is within a predetermined tolerance range for the specification value. In use, the method provides for the rrounding up/down of measurement values obtained by a CMM when a less precise measurement is all that is required by a component specification and/or specified tolerances. The component is preferably a gas turbine component.
