Measurement Environment

Room Temperature

In order to perform reliable measurements, it is necessary to ensure that the environment is appropriate for performing measurements. The key factors for the measurement environment are: temperature and cleanliness. ISO has defined the reference temperature for measurement as 20°C.
Any material may undergo thermal expansion due to changes in temperature. As such, the temperature in any room where precise measurement is necessary must be strictly controlled.

Temperature control is necessary for precise measurements.
