Abstract Volumetric verification is increasing daily its relevance. However, as it based on mathematical compensation, does not model only the influence of machine tool’s geometric error to verify, but total data. Among all sources, thermal variations due changes in environmental conditions strongly affect MT position accuracy. This paper studies how compensation functions a modification tool k...

Ultrasonic properties of materials present a strong dependence on temperature and in turn the ultrasonic velocity of propagation in the material under test. It is precisely for this reason that most ultrasonic measurements are often carried out with thermostated samples by using either water tanks or climate chambers. This approach is viable in a laboratory and when the measured or characterize...
