How far to go? How big is the house? How heavy is the bag?
try to answer any of these questions without using a single number and see that it is almost impossible to give a clear and accurate. This simple exercise shows how important measurements.
We measured continuously, at birth the first thing they do is measure ourselves. At death the last thing you will be measuring us to see if we fit in the box. We measure what we make, what we buy or sell. Measure is what allows us to describe reality in an understandable way ... as long as we use units that others can understand.
To measure, we need to make a referral, compared to what we want to measure and count how many times it should be our reference in that thing, however, it is necessary to establish common references in order to reach an understanding.
Initially the man was the measure of all things, from its scale is determined that measured units worldwide: Feet, elbows, arms, etc. In the late eighteenth century, France was concerned about having a reliable system of measurement that allowed them to unify their business activities and tax collection and to this end, French scientists proposed the establishment of a system of measures which have as a basis length one ten-millionth of a quadrant of a meridian, which they called "Metro", giving rise to the metric system, which would later be called the international system.
To mark the 21 th General Conference of Weights and Measures, held in Paris in October 1999, the International Committee of Weights and Measures announced that the May 20 anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of the Meter in 1875, would be declared as World Metrology Day.
The World Metrology Day was established to draw attention of people on the importance of metrology. was elected on 20 May following the date signed the Treaty of the Meter established in Paris on May 20, 1875. The treaty is a diplomatic agreement signed by 51 nations, in which the signatories agree to use and disseminate the Metric System or the International System of Units. The same treaty gives the General Conference of Weights and Measures (CGPM), the International Committee of Weights and Measures (CIPM) and the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) the authority to act on world metrology, particularly in Regarding the development of measurement standards and increase their accuracy, range and diversity and demonstrate equivalence between national standards.
Metrology is the scientific discipline applying the knowledge of chemical and physical phenomena in order to use their property as a reference for the development of measurement systems such as the International System of Units. From the measurements we humans can understand and describe the reality around us. Inaccurate measurement generates an incorrect interpretation of reality and with her defects in products manufactured, sold or bought
This year the International Bureau of Weights and Measures has dedicated the World Day of metrology measurements on the environment, an essential part of research and monitoring that scientists do to find the terrestrial ecosystem and its evolution. When talking about global warming because we can put information on the temperature measurements that tell us of severe changes. Similarly air pollution can be evaluated and characterized by physical and chemical measurements the meteorological community makes the air we breathe. For this reason, measurements of environmental quality are more important than ever as they help us to monitor changes in it, and determine its future effects on living organisms. Quality of information generated by measurements of the environment, responsible for the decisions that society must take to reduce the impact of human activity in the atmosphere. That is why we require petrological systems that ensure the quality and accuracy of the information that science has on the health of the planet
