Overview

This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to perform precision mechanical measurement.

This unit covers comprehensive measuring skills where judgement is required in the selection of the most appropriate techniques/devices and where results are interpreted and/or analysed.

Where interpretation of technical drawings is required unit MEM09002 Interpret technical drawing should also be selected.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Assessment

For Melbourne campuses

Assessment tasks will be designed to reinforce and extend knowledge and skill competence within set and controlled parameters in accordance with each unit’s learning outcomes and performance criteria requirements, including the setting of work based practical application tasks designed to provide evidence of competence outcomes, within periodic and scheduled timelines.

Students will be expected to demonstrate the following required skills:

  • following work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and safe work practices;
  • identifying and interpreting measurement requirements from specifications, including sketches and job;
  • instructions, schematics, diagrams and technical manuals;
  • selecting appropriate measuring device or equipment to achieve the required outcome;
  • checking the accuracy of the selected measuring equipment where appropriate;
  • setting up measuring equipment where appropriate;
  • obtaining measurements on components or equipment in a safe and effective manner, interpreting results and recording measurements, as required, and;
  • storing and maintaining measuring devices including routine adjustments according to manufacturer’s specifications or SOPs.
