over a frequency range fromabout 10 Hz to 1000 Hz in the form of sharp coherent resonances as well astransient excitations [33]. Sound pressure levels in a typical laboratoryenvironment are greater than 35 dB, usually due to air-conditioning systems.Consider an enclosure that is a simple bottomless rectangular box whosewalls are rigidly attached at each edge.
When a panel is acoustically excited bya diffuse sound field, forced bending waves govern its sound transmissioncharacteristics and the sound pressure attenuation is determined by thepanel mass per unit area [32]. The panel sound pressure attenuation (dB) isgiven by [34]" #prs f 2a ¼ 10 log10 1 þþ 5 dB(3.19)r0 cwhere rs is its mass per unit area, r0 is the density of air at standard pressureand f is the incident acoustic field frequency. Equation (3.19) suggests thatthe enclosure wall should be constructed from high-density materials toobtain the largest rs possible given the load-bearing capacity of any supporting structure. Note that the attenuation decreases for every 20 dB perdecade increase in either rs or frequency.5152C H A P T ER 3 : Precision measurement instrumentation – some design principles3.10 References[1] Hume K J 1980 A history of engineering metrology (Mechanical EngineeringPublications Ltd)[2] Flack D R, Hannaford J 2005 Fundamental good practice in dimensionalmetrology.

Han HaitjemaMitutoyo Research Centre Europe4.1 Traceability in lengthA short historical overview of length measurement was given in chapter 2.This chapter will take one small branch of length measurement, that of staticlength standards, and discuss in detail how the most accurate lengthmeasurements are made on macro-scale length standards using the technique of interferometry. These macro-scale length standards and thespecialist equipment used for their measurement may not appear, at firstsight, to have much relevance to MNT.
However, macro-scale length standards are measured to nanometre uncertainties and many of the conceptsdiscussed in this chapter will have relevance in later chapters. For example,much of the information here that relates to static surface-based interferometry will be developed further or modified in chapter 5, which discussesthe development of displacement interferometry.It is also important to discuss traditional macro-scale length standards,both specification standards and artefact standards, because the subject ofthis book is engineering nanometrology.
In other words, this book is concerned with the tools, theory and practical application of nanometrology inan engineering context, rather than as an academic study. It is anticipatedthat the development of standards for engineering nanometrology will verymuch follow the route taken for macro-scale engineering in that problemsconcerning the interoperability of devices, interconnections, tolerancing andstandardization will lead to the requirement for testing and calibration, andthis in turn will lead to the writing of specification standards and the preparation of nanoscale artefact standards and the metrology tools with which tocalibrate them.

A discussion on this subject isas presented in [2].There is a large range of macro-scale length standards and lengthmeasuring instruments that are used throughout engineering, for examplesimple rulers, callipers, gauge blocks, setting rods, micrometers, step gauges,coordinate measuring machines, linescales, ring and plug gauges, verniers,stage micrometers, depth gauges, ball bars, laser trackers, ball plates, threadgauges, angle blocks, autocollimators, etc.; the list is quite extensive [3].
Forany of these standards or equipment to be of any practical application toengineers, end users or metrologists, the measurements have to be traceable.Chapter 2 explained the concept of traceability and described the comparisonchain for some quantities. In this chapter we will examine in detail thetraceable measurement of some of the length standards with the most basicconcepts known as gauge blocks and, in doing so, we will show many of thebasic principles of interferometry – perhaps the most directly traceablemeasurement technique for length metrology.4.2 Gauge blocks – both a practical and traceable artefactAs discussed in section 2.3, the end standard is one of the basic forms ofmaterial length artefact (a line standard being the alternative form of artefact).
It is not only the basic form of an end standard that makes them sopopular, but also the fact that Johannsson greatly enhanced the practicalusability of end standards by defining gauge block sizes so that they could beused in sets and be combined to give any length with micrometre accuracy[3,4]. For these reasons the end standard found its way from the NMIsthrough to the shop floor.In summary, the combination of direct traceability to the level of primarystandards, the flexibility of combining them to produce any length witha minimal loss of accuracy, their availability in a range of accuracy classes andmaterials and the standardization of sizes and accuracies make end standardswidespread, and their traceability well established and respected.The most commonly used gauge blocks have a standardized cross-section of9 mm by 35 mm for a nominal length ln > 10 mm and 9 mm by 30 mm fornominal length 0.5 mm < ln < 10 mm.
The flatness of the surfaces (less than0.1 mm) is such that gauge blocks can be wrung on top of each other withoutcausing a significant additional uncertainty in length.1 This is due to the1Wringing is the process of attaching two flat surfaces together by a sliding action [6]Gauge blocks – both a practical and traceable artefactdefinition of a gauge block, which states that the length is defined as the distancefrom the measurement (reference) point on the top surface to the plane ofa platen (a flat plate) adjacent to the wrung gauge block [5]. This platen should bemanufactured from the same material as the gauge block and have the samesurface properties (surface roughness and refractive index).
