Measurement of workpieces

Japanese: 工作測定 - こうさくそくてい
Measurement of workpieces
This refers to measuring or inspecting whether the dimensions, shape, and surface irregularities of machine parts are made as specified during or after processing. It is also called precision measurement. When machines were made one by one, machine parts, such as shafts and holes, were made to fit together exactly and then assembled. As production volume increased, division of labor meant that machine parts were made in different processes, at different times, by different workers, and then combined in any combination. Machine parts must be interchangeable to function properly as a machine even when combined in any combination.

Japanese:
機械部品の寸法,形状および面のでこぼこなどが指定どおりにできているか否か,加工中または加工後に測定あるいは検査することをいう。精密測定ということもある。一品一品機械を作っていたときは,機械部品,例えば軸と穴とを互いに現物で合うように作って組み立てていた。生産量が増大すると,分業によって,異なった工程で,かつ異なった時刻,作業者によって,機械部品を製作し,任意に組み合わせて作るようになる。任意に組み合わせても機械として十分な機能を発揮するためには,機械部品の互換性がなければならない。
