Fundamental Dimensions and Process Variables for Schools

Facilities that manufacture and store materials must be able to monitor their processes and equipment in order to produce the desired results and keep everyone safe. This is typically achieved by taking frequent or continuous measurements of certain process variables. These process variables are based on fundamental dimensions of length, time, mass, temperature, pressure, and electric current. In this course, we will describe the fundamental dimensions of solids, liquids, and gases and their units of measurement, and discuss how these dimensions are used to monitor and troubleshoot equipment and processes in commercial and industrial settings.
