The main functions of a metrologist are checking and adjusting the accuracy of measuring instruments and devices. The main goal of its activities is to bring measuring instruments into full compliance with established standards.

In addition, the profession of a metrologist also implies the ability to develop verification schemes for various types measurements, instructions, methods and other documents.

Places of work

Many organizations use a wide variety of measuring instruments: scales, water or electricity meters, radars, ATMs, tonometers, audiometers, etc. The position of a metrologist exists both at enterprises that produce such devices, and at the research institutes that develop them, and at regulatory institutions - Rostechnadzor, Rostest, Rostekhregulirovanie, and the Metrological Center for Energy Resources.

At large enterprises you can find the position of chief metrologist - the head of junior specialists.

History of the profession

Reference measures designed to maintain the unity of all measures were created in ancient times. But the unified international Metric Convention was adopted only on May 20, 1875 at the suggestion of D.I. Mendeleev. This date is considered the birthday of the metrology engineer profession in its current form.

But in Russia, back in the 16th century, tselovalniki (controllers) in the markets looked for and selected unofficial measures (primarily scales). In the 17th century, supervision over compliance with standard measures was strengthened - it was carried out by the Great Customs House and the Pomernaya Izba.

Responsibilities of a metrologist

The main job responsibilities of a metrologist are:

• organization of verification, repair and calibration of measuring instruments (also development of metrological documentation);
• control of compliance of measuring methods and instruments with legal requirements;
• carrying out metrological examinations;
• Maintaining databases of measuring instruments.

On manufacturing plant The metrologist deals with a number of additional tasks:

• control of equipping the enterprise with all necessary measuring instruments;
• training of personnel to work with measuring instruments;
• interaction with the manufacturer regarding the development and implementation of new measuring instruments.

In some research institutes, metrologists participate in the development and implementation of new measuring instruments and methods (even to the point of creating standards of physical quantities).

Requirements for a metrologist

As a rule, the requirements for a metrologist are standard:

• secondary or higher education in the specialty “Metrology” or related technical;
• knowledge of regulations and methodological materials on metrology;
• ability to work with technical documentation;
• experience working with metrology institutes.

Sometimes knowledge of a specific industry is required, in English or special software.

(the profession of metrologist should sound proud)

E.L. Perelshtein, former chief. metrologist of the basic metrological service of the Ministry of Aviation Industry.

The article is dedicated to the blessed memory of two prominent organizers of the “measurement business” in the country, Kiparenko V.I. and Konorov L.A. The first of them prepared the idea of ​​​​transforming the “Unity of Measures” into the “Unity of Measurements”, the second actively supported this idea, and together they prepared and held in January 1965 the first conference on “Ensuring the uniformity of measurements in national economy country", which laid the foundation for the development in the country " State system ensuring the uniformity of measurements (GSI)."

More than 35 years ago, the positions of Chief Metrologist, Engineer and Technician - Metrologists began to appear in certain industries. It soon turned out that such specialists are practically not trained anywhere - they must be “cultivated” independently, based on experience in related professions. At the same time, many enterprises began to form complex units for measuring equipment with the general name "Metrological Service", which were assigned certain functions in preparing methods and measuring instruments for reasonable use in enterprise departments. New concepts have also seen the light of day at enterprises - “measurement methods”, “metrological examination” and a number of others. But the most surprising thing was that short term In a number of industries, a whole galaxy of unstoppable enthusiasts, new chief specialists of enterprises - Chief Metrologists, has indeed grown up. It’s hard to say where they all came from so quickly and immediately got their bearings on the assigned tasks, but we must give them their due - the work literally began to boil. But many of them had not even had close contact with measuring technology before. Probably the combination of youth and novelty of activity, as well as a sense of perspective in the assigned work, inspired the new chief specialists to solve yet unknown metrological problems. The metrological rush, in some cases, captured the entire enterprise. Units involved in measuring equipment - verification and repair, development of non-standardized measuring instruments - were united. Verification installations were purchased, personnel were selected, their training and certification for the right to carry out verification work was organized. Industry and inter-industry councils of Chief Metrologists were formed, meetings and conferences were convened, work was carried out on a daily basis to provide mutual assistance to solve operational tasks and problems. The struggle was in full swing for premises, for numbers and salaries for metrological sections. Metrological life was born at enterprises. The necessary decrees were issued and decisions were made for the development of measuring technology and instrumentation by almost all branches of government. It was clear that the ideas of unity of measurements lay on fertile soil.

It is hardly possible to deny the outstanding contribution that was made by the metrological services of enterprises and their managers - the Chief Metrologists in terms of raising the level of scientific research, improving the quality of products and social services population. In literally all industries, especially in aviation, space, radio electronics, instrument making, nuclear and chemical engineering, the most important tasks and problems were solved at a faster pace, which put our country at the forefront of scientific and technological progress.

However, it also cannot be denied that against the backdrop of the implementation of “great plans and grandiose tasks,” not all enterprises paid attention to new metrological trends. At many enterprises there were “wise” managers who simply persistently did not notice the great benefits of the development of measuring technology, the improvement of metrological support in the workplace of science and production, not to mention the service sector of the population. Many metrological departments were forced to make do with completely waste premises and experienced significant difficulties in staffing metrological areas with the necessary specialists, technical means and materials. The first wave of Chief Metrologists often had to fight with bureaucrats both at their enterprises and in their departments that led enterprises that did not always comply with the directives of higher management bodies, which caused certain difficulties in improving metrological support at enterprises, in some cases, not only negatively affected the quality indicators of manufactured products, but also caused failures of individual units and serious accidents.

But that first wave of enthusiastic metrologists still overcame all the difficulties, the inertia of bureaucrats, and also, in some cases, their lack of awareness of the measurements of physical quantities. And we must give them their due, they gained authority even among their own, sometimes not very understanding of metrology, enterprise managers, many of whom later very seriously relied on the already all-knowing Chief Metrologists in matters of product control and operational safety of various technical means and structures.

During the formation of metrological services, many Chief Metrologists of enterprises felt supported in their practical work from Gosstandart specialists, as central office, as well as individual institutions and territorial bodies. We must pay tribute to this system, so necessary for the state and surprisingly little paid, that it was able to concentrate in its composition a whole guard of outstanding specialists - scientists, engineers, technicians and good organizers of the State "Measuring Business".

Unfortunately, given our general position with the country's economy last years, very difficult, in in general terms, talk about some successes of the Chief Metrologists of enterprises. Thank God that some of those specialists who began to create metrological services still show patriotism towards their metrological work and are looking forward to their successors in order to still have time to teach them something. In practice, at best, 10-15% of specialists - metrologists, mechanics and equipment adjusters - remain at enterprises from the level of the early 90s. At many enterprises, metrological services were simply liquidated, at others they were laid off, and in some cases, specialists from metrological departments went into trade and commercial technical security services. A significant part of the “golden metrological reserve” of personnel, which had been qualified for 15-20 years, was lost for industrial enterprises. And it is not even possible for enterprises reviving from stagnation to replenish their metrological service units with young people capable of mastering a wide range of equipment.

However, the specialists remaining at the enterprises - metrologists and instrument engineers of all directions do not have the right to lose heart, because all hope rests on them that past achievements in the field of scientific and industrial metrology in many industries can still be considered as a guide to action for future metrologists and instrument engineers -enthusiasts. And, probably, the time for active action is just around the corner, because at certain enterprises in a number of industries a new “era of revival” is already visible, work on certification of products is being carried out more responsibly, Gosstandart of Russia is carrying out quite serious work to introduce the experience of international activities in the field of quality systems in the process of research, design, production, testing and operation of created products (as well as in the sphere of consumption and services).

This work, grandiose in scale and complexity, aimed at achieving the competitiveness of products manufactured in our country, and which is an important basis for the socio-economic development of our society, is essentially determined by the high readiness for use and constant improvement of measuring equipment directly at each workplace of the enterprise , where both products and their quality are formed. Any scientific and production task or problem, including socially serving society, any issue of ensuring indicators of reliability, accident-free operation, safety and reliability of consumer properties of manufactured products is, first of all, a question of sufficiency of the volume (quantity, nomenclature, accuracy) of control measuring (analytical) information. On the one hand, it paves the way in the process of searching for new, given by time, opportunities for society, leads to the next stages of modern civilization, on the other hand, it stabilizes and consolidates what has already been achieved, including not only by issuing necessary information, but also regulation of the required parameters in a production or other process. And this should be known not only to scientists, engineers and workers of all specialties who create industrial products or any structures, but also to managers of enterprises of any profile or any form of ownership who are planning financing for the metrological service and the development of control and measuring equipment. Business managers and economists need to remember that practically normal, experienced specialists simply do not have excess measurement information. The level, quality, including reliability indicators and consumer properties of products, entirely depend on the state of the organization of the metrological service and the state of measurements. As for the material costs of measuring equipment, it has long been known that every ruble invested in measurements provides the enterprise with a 10-fold profit. Of course, perhaps not all entrepreneurs or business managers are interested in giving this ruble for business. Some people think little about the reliability of their products, their good quality, their shelf life and their safety for the consumer, often hiding behind appearance either by packaging, or by receiving a certificate from nowhere, they tend to sell the products rather, and then - “even though the grass won’t grow.” But the consumer will soon “see through” such a thrifty manager, and the enterprise will face inevitable bankruptcy.

Probably, teaching enterprise managers about measurement if they can’t see it “point-blank” is not a very rewarding task. Not everywhere, enterprises are headed by smart managers who rely on qualified and experienced specialists, in particular metrologists, who love their job, their team, and “fear” for the authority of their enterprise.

In recent years, many enterprises have been headed by economists who have little understanding of technology, especially in the field of technical physics, which includes measurement technology, but they consider themselves good “market specialists.” In this case, it is very difficult for a real Chief Metrologist to work if the “economist” considers himself a “know-it-all.” However, taking into account common problems with production in the country, the Chief Metrologist must have not only “the politeness of kings - accuracy,” but also show, as they sometimes say, “political or diplomatic flexibility,” educating his leaders in the “metrological” spirit, helping them enter not only “ doors of the virtual economy", but also into the real world of constructing indicators of the quality of labor processes. And, of course, the metrologists themselves need to do it more organically, systematically, with reliable training. regulatory framework“enter” into the tasks and problems of the enterprise, even if, to some extent, they are of a “related” nature, not to mention their functions.

At the same time, if we assume that the metrological service can take its rightful place in market economy, including actively solving tasks and problems in the “quality system”, then in addition to preparing measurement processes, it is simply obliged to somewhat expand and deepen its functions so as not to find itself “on the side of the high road” of progress. But, first of all, we should talk about our “natural” traditional tasks, the solution of which should always be simply impeccable; There should be no “blank spots” in the preparation for the implementation of any measurement processes at the enterprise, in particular, not only measuring instruments, but also methods for performing measurements, primarily in terms of their certification, strictly carrying out the functions of metrological supervision over the state of measurements. The possibility of the emergence of reasons for criticism of the metrological service either “from above” or “from below” must be completely excluded.

The motto of the Chief Metrologist should be this: each measurement process has its own certified measurement methodology and prepared equipment.

What tasks can, and most likely, should, be thought through by the Chief Metrologist in order to calmly and independently connect to the “quality system”?

Firstly, is the task of full coverage by the metrological service of issues of scientific, technical, organizational and methodological support of methods and means of high-quality instrumental control and analysis, the purpose of which is to obtain primary information for any need of the enterprise (product quality;

incoming control of raw materials, materials, hardware;

non-destructive testing, etc.). And of course, with the same motto, because often this kind of control is the basis for quality assurance.

Secondly, is the task of comprehensive instrumental control and certification of testing instruments for all purposes (for test methods - only metrological examination).

Third, is the task of instrumental monitoring of the main operational and technical parameters of a unique technological and energy equipment(special structures) ensuring its reliability and safety (based on relevant regulatory and methodological documents), regardless of systematic work on technical operation these funds from specialized services.

Fourth, is the task of metrological supervision over the state of operational characteristics of the main collective Vehicle carrying out passenger and road transportation throughout Russia, in order to ensure the reliability and safety of their use for freight and passenger transportation (metrological examination of operational and technical documentation, random control checks of the condition of the main parameters and design elements).

Fifthly, is a metrological instrumental control of output and critical parameters of particularly important and complex products and structures at the stage after acceptance by the technical control service or during the acceptance tests.

At sixth, is periodic metrological control the most important parameters all types of industrial and environmentally hazardous objects and phenomena, including those tending to emergencies.

Seventh, - metrological maintenance of automation equipment (systems) (except for actuators with a power of over 100-200 W), bearing in mind that the systems automatic control- a set of measuring transducers that are different in design and physical and technical basis.

Of course, all of these (and maybe some other) tasks that are non-traditional for departments of the metrological service, if the latter should be “more tightly” included in the “quality system” of a national scale, require careful analysis and elaboration from all points of view. On the one hand, it is possible that the new labor processes under consideration for the metrological service may give rise to impersonality in the production sphere, on the other hand, it is possible to dramatically increase the responsibility of specialized technical services at the enterprise for the state of quality indicators at many “pain points” of production. And, of course, if the head of an enterprise is a person who understands anything in matters of production quality, accident-free operation, safety, reliability of communications, as well as the efficiency of measuring equipment, then, of course, he will be happy with such a real quality system based on an end-to-end system of instrumental control of the entire production. But, at the same time, the Chief Metrologist will probably need to be respected to a much greater extent than at present. He may well already be the deputy head of the enterprise for metrological support or the deputy chief engineer, etc. After all, one becomes a metrologist only through intense mastery of a very wide range of scientific and technical tasks related, in particular, to primary control and measurement information.

It is possible that if the listed functions of the metrological service take root at enterprises, then it will probably be necessary to provide for special production control areas as part of such a service, which, by the way, existed at some enterprises before. It is possible that there will be many heads of metrological services; who will protest against getting closer to production. But then we can ask the question - what will be the new participation of the metrological service in the quality system? If everything is the same - and again a “paper” system...? After all, all this happened 30 years ago.

But, under all circumstances, the authority of the head of the enterprise in the quality system will be determined by his understanding of the problems of the metrological service, at the same time, the authority of the Chief Metrologist is strict compliance with the Law of the Russian Federation “On Ensuring the Uniformity of Measurements” and appropriate adherence to regulatory developments, directives of the Gosstandart system of Russia . Despite the fact that not all Chief Metrologists are satisfied with the Law, which probably needs to be discussed and clarified, there are many useful things in the materials of Gosstandart, in particular in the field of metrological supervision, when the head of an enterprise can vest the Chief Metrologist with rights "Inspectors for ensuring the uniformity of measurements at the enterprise." Of course, the Chief Metrologist, by virtue of his status, can himself establish appropriate order at the enterprise if the head of the enterprise supports the metrological service, but the emphasis in the “Inspector” part should not be in the recommendation document.

At the same time, all these idle discussions about the active participation of the metrological service require a sober assessment of the state of uniformity of measurements today in the main industries of the country. It is probably quite problematic. And orient the Chief Metrologists to more effective work in new system quality is probably quite difficult. In addition, one can observe that the State Standard of Russia is in no hurry to tighten State supervision over the state of measurements at enterprises - it relies on market levers, which supposedly should stabilize the situation. Indeed, if a consumer requires a certificate or accreditation from a metrological service in order to be more confident in the quality of the product he is about to order, then it is assumed that the supplier will find necessary funds and will establish ideal order in terms of metrological support, without which real quality is impossible. Of course, this is all correct. But such an economic engine, operating on the principle of natural economic selection, can run almost idle for many years. At the same time, enterprises, spending state-owned, fairly cheap resources, will still try with all their might to create products the way they will turn out, investing in ensuring consumer properties exactly as much as is left by chance from the employees’ salaries. And until a strong supplier appears against the backdrop of a shortage of high-quality products, such a “gray” state of production will leave its mark on strategic and social foundations countries. But the real Chief Metrologist will not be able to tolerate such a sad situation for long. If he is not given the opportunity to restore order in the metrological service, in accordance with the Law, then he will go... to the building manager. And such a case occurs after the liquidation of the metrological service at the Institute of Aviation Instrumentation.

But we can consider another option, without looking back in some cases, at least temporarily, during our transition period, to international documents. It is based on strict government supervision over the state of uniformity of measurements. Each enterprise, if it is trying to create products, must take care of the basis of quality, achieving precisely the advanced, reliable development of measuring technology, creating a strong metrological service, of course, within the limits of real needs, based on carefully thought-out production tasks. Then the new quality system will definitely bear fruit very quickly. The sufficiency of the volume of control and measurement information for all stages and phases of product creation is simply natural and will automatically educate any manager-braker. If the head of the enterprise is not the most lazy person or someone else like that, then he will immediately understand that if he does not use all the availability of this reliable information to produce the best products, he must simply be “nobody.” Here, in this case, we can confidently talk about a quality system, where the main operational information figure should be the Chief Metrologist (possibly taking into account the above new functions for the metrological service), preparing measurement processes with his specialists and performing individual control measurements, but also participating in the planning of control and measurement operations at the stage of research and product development, starting with the initial documents - an application for the creation of products, technical proposals and technical specifications. Only such close operational contact of metrology specialists with specific persons responsible for areas of design and product research, enshrined in the relevant regulatory documents under the article of joint responsibility for the selection of source data and methodological development of measurement processes. This professional community is also assumed when developing the ideology, principles, design, operational and technical characteristics or consumer properties of products. Similar contact, but only with the technological apparatus, in terms of developing manufacturing technology (production). Control and measurement information from the tests carried out is also in the field of view of metrologists, since they develop or certify the corresponding MVIs under the influences specified by the designer, normalized for the product.

As a result, the participation of metrological services of enterprises in the new quality system could really be extremely effective if these services are organizational and supervised links of the national quality system, the only requirement for which is to ensure the “Unity of measurements in the system of quality indicators of manufactured products” (GSIPKP) . Of course, such a system may well be developed, discussed at all levels of economic management and tested. The main thing in this system is that the actual state of measurements at enterprise workplaces is adequate to the requirements of the technical documentation issued by product developers. Naturally, all technical documentation must reflect the requirements for control and measurement processes (the availability of a methodology for their implementation), worked out in one way or another by metrology specialists. The chief metrologist is the person responsible for the validity of decisions made based on the initial data of developers or researchers, carries out end-to-end metrological supervision over the implementation of any control and measurement (analytical) processes, participates in the consideration of the relevant information received, and accepts the results obtained necessary measures, if the actual results of measurements (control, analysis) do not meet the requirements of the developers, etc.

It is possible that in order to increase the status of the Chief Metrologist of an enterprise, or even the person responsible for the condition of measuring instruments, of any independent structure, new appointments to these positions must be coordinated with the local bodies of the State Standard of Russia.

It is necessary to emphasize once again that no quality system can really exist, at least in the coming years, if the state of measurements at enterprises does not meet the necessary requirements capable of receiving sufficient volumes of control and measurement (analytical) information, which requires the formation of a developed metrological support system , creation of well-equipped metrological service areas. However, at present, all this can only be done with government supervision or by waiting for the still mythical economic categories to “work.” But Chief Metrologists should not be discouraged, look for ways to improve metrological areas and train new cadres of specialists - now this is their main task.
