Mesurement is french and means --->Measurement

Deutsch: Meta-Messung / Español: Meta-medición / Português: Meta-medida / Français: Méta-mesure / Italiano: Meta-misurazione

Meta-measurement in the context of quality management refers to the practice of evaluating and measuring the effectiveness of existing measurement systems within an organisation. This higher-level form of assessment ensures that the tools, processes, and methodologies used for quality control and performance evaluation are accurate, reliable, and aligned with strategic objectives.

Deutsch: Metall / Español: Metal / Português: Metal / Français: Metal / Italiano: Metallo

A metal is a solid material (an element, compound, or alloy) that is typically hard, opaque, shiny, and features good electrical and thermal conductivity. Metals are generally malleable - that is, they can be hammered or pressed permanently out of shape without breaking or cracking - as well as fusible (able to be fused or melted) and ductile (able to be drawn out into a thin wire). 91 of the 118 elements in the periodic table are metals.

Deutsch: Metallurgie / Español: Metalurgia / Português: Metalurgia / Français: Métallurgie / Italiano: Metallurgia

Metallurgy in the quality management context refers to the science and process of working with metals and alloys to ensure that they meet specific quality, safety, and performance standards required for various applications. Quality management in metallurgy involves controlling and improving the properties of metals through processes such as casting, forging, heat treatment, and testing, to ensure they comply with industry regulations and customer requirements.

Deutsch: Metrik / Español: Métrica/ Français: Métrique
Metric or metrical may refer to the metric system of measurement or the International System of Units.

Deutsch: Mikrodiffusion / Español: microdifusión / Português: microdifusão / Français: microdiffusion / Italiano: microdiffusione

Microdiffusion is a technique used in quality management to enhance the precision and reliability of measurements. It involves the diffusion of very small quantities of a substance through a medium to achieve uniform distribution, allowing for accurate analysis and assessment. This method is essential for detecting trace amounts of contaminants or ensuring the consistent quality of a product.

Deutsch: Mikrodiffusion-Kjeldahl-Methode / Español: método Kjeldahl de microdifusión / Português: método de microdifusão Kjeldahl / Français: méthode Kjeldahl de microdiffusion / Italiano: metodo Kjeldahl di microdiffusione

Microdiffusion Kjeldahl method in quality management refers to a refined analytical technique used to determine the nitrogen content in various samples. This method combines microdiffusion techniques with the traditional Kjeldahl method to provide precise and reliable measurements of nitrogen, which is crucial for assessing the quality of food products, pharmaceuticals, and environmental samples.

Deutsch: Mikrodiffusionsmethode / Español: Método de microdifusión / Português: Método de microdifusão / Français: Méthode de microdiffusion / Italian: Metodo di microdiffusione

Microdiffusion method is a technique used in quality management for the precise measurement of volatile substances. This method relies on the principle of diffusion, where a substance moves from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane or medium.
