Metrology

The science of metrology is essential to our world but is often both underestimated and underappreciated. The signing of the Metre Convention on May 20, 1875 forever changed the world of measurement science, setting standards that directly tie into everything that Fluke and Fluke customers do today. Here in the Fluke metrology hub, you’ll find articles and videos will help guide your understanding of the history of metrology, how it affects the world around us, what roles Fluke played in the science of metrology, and what the future holds for metrology going forward.
