Metrology 101 Special Session

Metrology, the science of measurement, is the unsung hero behind nearly every aspect of modern life. From the accuracy of the clocks that govern our daily routines to the precision of the tools and equipment that ensure the safety of our food, vehicles, medical devices, metrology is everywhere. The Metrology Society of Australia (MSA) is pleased to offer a free afternoon session featuring an introduction to the SI system of units, as well as laboratory practice and accreditation.

This Wednesday afternoon session of the Rapid Tech MSA2025 Conference is free to attend and is recommended for:

  • Second and third tier calibration and testing laboratories
  • University students and lecturers
  • Researchers, scientists, engineers, consultants
  • Anyone who is interested in measurement!

This is part of the MSA conference so those already registered for the full conference do not need to register for this session. If you wish to visit for just the free afternoon, please click below to view the programme and to register.
