1. metrologist

   Metrology is the scientific study of measurement. It establishes a common understanding of units, crucial in linking human activities. Modern metrology has its roots in the French Revolution's political motivation to standardise units in France when a length standard taken from a natural source was proposed. This led to the creation of the decimal-based metric system in 1795, establishing a set of standards for other types of measurements. Several other countries adopted the metric system between 1795 and 1875; to ensure conformity between the countries, the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM) was established by the Metre Convention. This has evolved into the International System of Units (SI) as a result of a resolution at the 11th General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) in 1960.Metrology is divided into three basic overlapping activities: The definition of units of measurement The realisation of these units of measurement in practice Traceability—linking measurements made in practice to the reference standardsThese overlapping activities are used in varying degrees by the three basic sub-fields of metrology: Scientific or fundamental metrology, concerned with the establishment of units of measurement Applied, technical or industrial metrology—the application of measurement to manufacturing and other processes in society Legal metrology, covering the regulation and statutory requirements for measuring instruments and methods of measurementIn each country, a national measurement system (NMS) exists as a network of laboratories, calibration facilities and accreditation bodies which implement and maintain its metrology infrastructure. The NMS affects how measurements are made in a country and their recognition by the international community, which has a wide-ranging impact in its society (including economics, energy, environment, health, manufacturing, industry and consumer confidence). The effects of metrology on trade and economy are some of the easiest-observed societal impacts. To facilitate fair trade, there must be an agreed-upon system of measurement.

1. Metrologist

   Metrologists perform metrology work involving precision measurement and comparison of physical quantities such as mass, length, time, force, speed, voltage and current. They calibrate precision equipment which measures these physical units. They may also certify that outside standards of such quantities as mass and volume are correct. Congress has authorized the National Institute of Standards and Technology to set the standards of all physical quantities in the United States. The NIST was formerly called the National Bureau of Standards. Highly skilled metrologists are essential to the work of NIST.
