In science, measurement is the process of obtaining the magnitude of a quantity such as length or mass relative to a unit of measurement, such as a meter or a kilogram. The term can also be used to refer to the result obtained after performing the process.

History

Main article: History of measurement

The word measurement comes from the Greek "metron," meaning limited proportion.

The history of measurements is a topic within the history of science and technology.

Standards

Laws to regulate measurement were originally developed to prevent fraud. However, units of measurement are now generally defined on a scientific basis, and are established by international treaties. In the United States, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), a division of the United States Department of Commerce, regulates commercial measurements. In the United Kingdom, the role is performed by the National Physical Laboratory (NPL).

What is the condition if the measurement value is not in the range of datasheet?
Q. As in semiconductor datasheet, there are min, typ and max value. But some items, not all value of min, typ and max are given. Example;only the typ value, 5.5 Volt is given for maximum output voltage. While the other value, min and max is only shown as "-". How if my measurement value of maximum output voltage is 4.5 Volt and how if my measurement value of maximum output voltage is 10 Volt. Is it my measurement value is not ok?
