metrological
Pertaining to measurement science
Metrological relates to metrology, the science of measurement.
It concerns the standards, methods, and accuracy of measuring things: metrological equipment, metrological calibration.
The word appears mainly in technical and scientific contexts where precise measurement matters—laboratories, manufacturing, quality control.
