A Brief History of Metrology and Advancements in the Science of Measurement

Metrology is arguably the oldest scientific pursuit of humanity. This free webinar covers a brief overview of metrology from the ancient peoples, through the middle ages, and to modern times, including how it is part of the U.S. Constitution. The technical focus is on DC voltage reference standards, beginning with the first “electric piles” developed by Alessandro Volta, to present day quantum-based reference standards. We’ll also share great historical information on how Fluke has been a key part of this development.
