2. 0 96 10 EH oH It is worth to notice that the most critical parameter is the temperature because its change influences the coefficient n more than changes in the pressure and much more than changes in the humidity The accuracy of laser interferometers Status Pro 2 7 www statuspro com NE u PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION Errors caused by the environment The most impotent source of errors in machine geometry measurements is the temperature or more exactly the change of the temperature of the measured machine For example if the machine s base is made of steel than the base s length increases 11 7Um when its temperature changes 1K It shows how important it is for very precise measurements to measure the temperature of the controlled part of the machine and to use it in readout corrections This is not a simple task for a few reasons but the most important one is that than when the machine operates there are temperature gradients on it That means that more than one temperature sensor is needed and that the more sensors are used the better accuracy can be achieved Moreover the shape of the measured part of the machine may absorb a part of the expansion of the material or the part may be built of materials of different expandability As was mentioned in the previous chapter the temperature influences the accuracy also as it changes the refraction coefficient of the medium the measurements are made in usually it i
