AbstractX-ray computed tomography (CT) enables dimensional measurements of numerous measurands with a single scan, including the measurement of inner structures. However, measurement artefacts complicate the applicability of the technology in some cases. This paper presents a methodology to assess the surface point quality of computed tomography measurements without the requirement of a CAD model. Measurement artefacts lowering the surface point quality can therefore automatically be detected. The correlation of quality values with the random measurement error is demonstrated. The presented method can in principle be used to weight single fit points to reduce the measurement uncertainty of CT measurements.

X-ray computed tomography (XCT) is a rising technology within many industries and sectors with a demand for dimensional metrology, defect, void analysis and reverse engineering. There are many variables that can affect the dimensional metrology of objects imaged using XCT, this paper focusses on the effects of beam hardening due to the orientation of the workpiece, in this case a holeplate, and the volume of material the X-rays travel through. Measurements discussed include unidirectional and bidirectional dimensions, radii of cylinders, fit point deviations of the fitted shapes and cylindricity. Results indicate that accuracy and precision of these dimensional measurements are affected in varying amounts, both by the amount of material the X-rays have travelled through and the orientation of the object.

Recently, a strong need has arisen for a dimensional X-ray computed tomography system that is capable of dimensional measurements. This is because the speedy realization of dimensional measurements for outward forms and inward forms on dense spatial points remarkably simplifies and accelerates production loop. However, although the image obtained via XCT describes the structure clearly and in great detail, dimensional metrology by means of XCT is not simple. The National Metrology Institute of Japan has been carrying out performance tests using gauges that include the gauges proposed in ISO10360. In this work, the magnification variation correction is carefully presented, and a maximum deviation of less than 5 μm is shown to be possible by means of the measurement of the forest phantom of 27 ruby spheres, the locations of which are calibrated by the coordinate measuring machine.
