Measurement, the process of combining numbers with physical quantities and phenomena. For science, measurement is indispensable; in engineering, construction and other technical fields; and for almost all daily activities. For this reason, the elements, conditions, limits and theoretical principles of measurement are examined in detail. Also see measurement systems to compare different systems and their development history. Measurement begins with a definition of the quantity to be measured and always includes a comparison with a known quantity of the same species. If the object to be measured or the size to be measured is not available for direct comparison, it must be converted or "converted" into a similar measurement signal.
