mittauspäivän

Mittauspäivä is a Finnish term referring to a day designated for taking measurements as part of a process, study, or operation. The word is formed from mittaus (measurement) and päivä (day). The genitive form mittauspäivän is used in phrases like mittauspäivän tulokset or mittauspäivän aikana.

The term is widely used across technical, scientific, and industrial contexts. In manufacturing and quality control, a mittauspäivä marks when instrument readings, calibrations, or inspections are performed to ensure accuracy and traceability. In laboratories and research projects, it denotes days when data collection, sample analysis, or experimental observations are conducted under predefined conditions. In construction and surveying, mittauspäivä may indicate when measurements of geometry, elevations, or alignments are recorded. In statistics and field surveys, the day of data collection can also be described as a mittauspäivä, especially in planning and reporting.

Because the concept is generic, the exact timing and procedures of a mittauspäivä depend on the relevant protocol, standard operating procedures, and regulatory requirements. Important considerations include instrument calibration, measurement environment, data logging, and documentation to ensure data quality and comparability over time. Although mittauspäivä is a practical term in Finnish, it does not denote a fixed public holiday or nationwide event; it is a schedule-driven concept used wherever systematic measurement is required.
