Sartori, Sergio (Author)
Obiettivo di questo libro è di inquadrare lo sviluppo della metrologia – intesa come scienza e pratica della misurazione, per propria natura interdisciplinare per eccellenza – nel contemporaneo contesto storico, economico, culturale e sociale, presentandola a partire dal 1875, la data della firma della Convenzione del Metro. Il libro si rivolge a un insieme ampio di potenziali lettori, in particolare a tutti coloro che utilizzano strumenti – concettuali e pratici – per eseguire misure, da cui trarre elementi per prendere decisioni, e che desiderano acquisire consapevolezza di tali strumenti, potendo disporre anche di informazioni corrette e complete sul linguaggio da adottare nella comunicazione. La narrazione parte dal 1875, anno in cui, per la prima volta nella storia, molte e importanti nazioni decidono di adottare lo stesso sistema di unità di misura e di istituire infrastrutture per la realizzazione e la disseminazione dei campioni di misura. La storia della metrologia viene poi suddivisa in cinque periodi: dal 1875 alla fine del XIX secolo; la prima metà del XX secolo; gli anni dal 1950 al 1980; l’ultima parte del XX secolo; i primi anni del XXI secolo. [Abstract translated by Google Translate: This is the abstract in English… The aim of this book is to frame the development of metrology - understood as the science and practice of measurement, by its very nature interdisciplinary par excellence - in the contemporary historical, economic, cultural and social context, presenting it starting from 1875, the date of the signature of the Convention of the Metro. The book is aimed at a wide range of potential readers, in particular all those who use tools - conceptual and practical - to perform measurements, from which to draw elements to make decisions, and who wish to become aware of such tools, being able to also have correct and complete information on the language to be used in the communication. The narration starts from 1875, the year in which, for the first time in history, many and important nations decided to adopt the same system of measurement units and to establish infrastructures for the realization and dissemination of measurement samples. The history of metrology is then divided into five periods: from 1875 to the end of the nineteenth century; the first half of the 20th century; the years from 1950 to 1980; the last part of the 20th century; the early years of the 21st century.]
