Progress in measurements of time and the establishment of new methods for measuring physical quantities

  • Measurements of Time

Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

Summary

  1. 1.

    The progress made in time measurements, which are characterized by relative ease in obtaining high accuracy and resolution, a wide range of measurements with a relatively simple measuring procedure, and the possibility of high-speed measurements, provides the necessary prerequisites for measuring various quantities related to time by means of counting and capacitor timers, which are already widely used in Industry. The prospects of this method are particularly encouraging if one considers the vigorous development of the computer technique.

  2. 2.

    Measurements in terms of time are being successfully applied in many instances; finding new spheres of application for this method is the task of the near future.

  3. 3.

    New methods of measuring various quantities related to time in terms of time and frequency not only widen the potentialities of measurements and production control but also those of automation in control operations.
