Precision can be broken down into repeatability and reproducibility. Further, accuracy can be broken down into linearity, stability, and bias. Having faulty measurement systems can cause poor quality components to slip through the cracks and high quality parts to be rejected.
By conducting a MSA, manufacturers can make certain that their measurement equipment and operation of this equipment aligns with their precision and accuracy requirements.

Capable of drawing samples from up to 50ft 15m away with standard sampling line, quickly convert diffusion instruments for use in remote sampling applications. Visual inspection of filter and quick change components simplify maintainence. Rugged unibody construction provides unsurpassed durability and Li Ion battery ensures long run time even in cold weather. Calibration Testing Gas MSA offers a complete line of calibration gas cylinders to calibrate all instruments.
The gas mixture in calibration gas cylinders is certified to be prepared gravimetrically, using NIST traceable weights. The lot number and nominal value of the gas constituents in volume, percent by mass, PPM, or volume is specified on the cylinder.
Spare Parts. Regulators Regulators are used to ensure you receive the required flow of calibration gas for your application. There are treatments to help people cope with the symptoms of MSA. In some individuals, levodopa may improve motor function; however, the benefit may not continue as the disease progresses.
The drugs fludrocortisone and midodrine sometimes are prescribed. In , the U. Food and Drug Administration approved the medication droxidopa for the treatment of orthostatic hypotension seen in MSA. Dihydroxyphenylserine helps to replace chemical signals called neurotransmitters which are decreased in the autonomic nervous system in MSA.
Some medications used to treat orthostatic hypotension can be associated with high blood pressure when lying down, so affected individuals may be advised to sleep with the head of the bed tilted up.
Bladder control problems are treated according to the nature of the problem. Anticholinergic drugs, such as oxybutynin or tolteridine, may help reduce the sudden urge to urinate.
Sleep problems such as REM sleep behavior disorder can be treated with medicines including clonazepam, melatonin, or some antidepressants. Some individuals with MSA may have significant difficulties with swallowing and may need a feeding tube or nutritional support.
Speech therapy may be helpful in identifying strategies to address swallowing difficulties. Physical therapy helps maintain mobility, reduce contractures chronic shortening of muscles or tendons around joints, which prevents the joints from moving freely , and decrease muscle spasms and abnormal posture.
Individuals may eventually need assistive devices such as walkers and wheelchairs. Variation in the measurement process can directly contribute to our overall process variability. Before we dive further into MSA, we should review the definition of a measurement system and some of the common sources of variation. A measurement system has been described as a system of related measures that enables the quantification of particular characteristics.
It can also include a collection of gages, fixtures, software and personnel required to validate a particular unit of measure or make an assessment of the feature or characteristic being measured. The sources of variation in a measurement process can include the following:. All of these possible sources of variation should be considered during Measurement System Analysis.
Evaluation of a measurement system should include the use of specific quality tools to identify the most likely source of variation. Most MSA activities examine two primary sources of variation, the parts and the measurement of those parts. The sum of these two values represents the total variation in a measurement system. An effective MSA process can help assure that the data being collected is accurate and the system of collecting the data is appropriate to the process.
Good reliable data can prevent wasted time, labor and scrap in a manufacturing process. A major manufacturing company began receiving calls from several of their customers reporting non-compliant materials received at their facilities sites. The parts were not properly snapping together to form an even surface or would not lock in place.
The process was audited and found that the parts were being produced out of spec. The operator was following the inspection plan and using the assigned gages for the inspection. The problem was that the gage did not have adequate resolution to detect the non-conforming parts.
An ineffective measurement system can allow bad parts to be accepted and good parts to be rejected, resulting in dissatisfied customers and excessive scrap.
