# A Blog for Metrology Enthusiasts

# Metrology - It isn't weather.

We at Brunson Instrument Company live in a specialized world of industrial measurement. We deal with the measurement problems faced by people who build, inspect, or maintain fairly large machines – machines like aircraft, paper mills, ***[sawmills](https://content.brunson.us/sawmill-video)***, satellites, ships, machine tools, particle accelerators, and automobiles, to name a very few. 

Our ***[history](http://www.brunson.us/metrology-optical-measurement-products-alignment-about-brunson/metrology-optical-measurement-products-alignment-brunson-history/)*** gives us the unique ability to serve this market using both our manufacturing and engineering service capabilities. We have been in the measurement industry since 1927, and over the years we have become very familiar with the discipline of industrial metrology. 

Our blog is designed to be a platform for collaborative exploration in the field of metrology. We will invite industry professionals to be contributing editors, together explore new Brunson products and bring insight from customers, like you, who use Brunson products. So if you are one of the chosen few people who understand that ***[metrology](http://www.brunson.us/metrology-3d-measurement-support-products-2/)*** is not a study of the weather, please join us here.
