Metrology and fundamental physical constants

  • Fundamental Problems in Metrology
  • Published:
Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

Abstract

Fundamental problems of modern metrology are considered. It is suggested that problems arising in metrology during the construction of a system of measurement units are resolved at two levels: fundamental (theoretical) and practical. The increasing importance of developing and applying standards based directly on fundamental physical constants is noted.
