Use this form to define and view the equipment that is used in performing quality tests. A test instrument must be assigned a unit of measure that reflects the associated measurement and its decimal precision. Such units of measure are centimeters and a decimal precision of four. You can also assign a test instrument to a test area.
Examples
A manufacturing company uses various test instruments for performing tests on materials, and each instrument has an applicable unit of measure. For example, a scale instrument has a unit of measure of kilograms for weighing, and a micrometer has a unit of measure of millimeters for measuring thickness. A decimal precision is associated with a unit of measure.
