MEASUREMENT
TERMINOLOGY
by Katrina Louise Tardecilla

MEASUREMENT TERMINOLOGY
A measurement close to the true value of the quantity
ACCURACY being measured. The use of (+) and (-) is preferred.
AREA The amount of space occupied by a flat surface,

measured in square units.
CALIBRATE To determine the indication or output of a device with

respect to a standard.
DIMENSION A measurement of something in a particular direction.
ESTIMATION An approximate measurement made without a

measuring instrument.
The force exerted on an object due to gravity,
FORCE measured in units of force.
LINEARITY This expresses the deviation of the actual reading from

a straight line.
The size, length, or amount of something, as

MEASUREMENT established by measuring.
MEASURING A tool used to measure a quantity.

INSTRUMENT
PERIMETER The total length of the boundary of a closed, two-
dimensional shape
Refinement in a measurement, calculation, or
PRECISION specification, especially as represented by the number
of digits given.
QUANTITY A measurable property of an object or event.
The probability that a device will perform within its

RELIABILITY specifications for the number of operations or time
period specified.
SENSITIVITY This defines how much the output changes for a

specified change in device input.
SIGNIFICANT The digits in a measurement that are considered

FIGURES reliable, including all zeros between them.
the length of a structural component that extends (or
SPAN 'spans') between two supports.
TRANSIENT A sudden change in variable, which is neither a

controlled response, nor long lasting.
The doubt or range of possible values within which the

UNCERTAINTY true value of the quantity may lie.
UNIT A standard amount of a quantity used for comparison.
ZERO This produces a parallel shift in the input-output curve.

COMMUNICATION AND REPORTING METHODS
TRACKING SYSTEM
Use a tracking system
A TRACKING SYSTEM CAN BE A SIMPLE SPREADSHEET, A
PROJECT MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE, OR A DASHBOARD,
DEPENDING ON THE COMPLEXITY AND SIZE OF YOUR PROJECT.
FEEDBACK AND
SUPPORT
Feedback is essential to recognize
their efforts, acknowledge their
achievements, identify their challenges,
and suggest improvements. You
should provide feedback in a timely,
specific, constructive, and positive
manner, and avoid micromanaging or
criticizing.
Evaluate and celebrate
Evaluation is important
to assess the
performance and
outcomes of the tasks,
compare them with the
expectations, and
identify the lessons
learned.
