A processing system employs a processing tool to process workpieces, for example cold working holes and/or installing expandable members into holes. Sensors sense various aspects of the processing. Information regarding performance of the process and/or materials may be stored, for example a hole-by-hole or a workpiece-by-workpiece basis, allowing validation of processing. Information also allows dynamic operation of the processing tool. Analysis of response relationships (e.g., pressure or force versus position or distance) may provide insights into the process and materials, and/or facilitate the real-time feedback including control, alerts, ordering replacement for consumable components.

The invention relates to a device for industrially measuring measurement objects with a measuring probe that can be led up to the measurement object, on which measuring probe at least one distance sensor is provided for measuring instantaneous distance of a reference point of the measuring probe from a wall of the measurement. The measuring probe is rotatably supported on a retainer, which is fixed in relation to the measurement object and/or the position of which in relation to the measurement object is known. The device also include an evaluating apparatus designed to receive at least one distance value determined by the distance sensor and to associate the at least one distance value with a rotational position of the measuring probe in the context of a measurement. Means are provided for determining a change in the relative position between the retainer and the measurement object occurring during the measurement.

A flow rate of a gas is determined based on a predetermined relational expression including, as parameters: the flow rate of the gas; diameter and length of a hole; upstream and downstream pressures; and temperature, molecular weight, viscosity coefficient, and specific heat ratio of the gas. Additionally, setting conditions for a type and temperature of the gas, the length of the hole, and the pressures upstream and downstream from the hole are set; the relational expression is used to obtain the correspondence relationship between the diameter of the hole and the flow rate of the gas flowing through the hole; an approximation function approximating the obtained correspondence relationship is determined; the flow rate of a gas passing through a test piece having a hole of an unknown diameter is measured; and the diameter of the hole is estimated, based on the measured flow rate and the approximation function.
