So far, no one has identified any major errors that were the results of faulty measurement.
Two common misconceptions are actually errors of a different sort -- the Mars Climate Orbiter and the Hubble Space Telescope. The Mars Climate Orbiter was lost due to an inadequately documented computer program. The program produced estimated total thruster impulse. The results were thought to be in Newtons but actually were in pounds-force. This led do incorrect trajectory estimates. The trajectory was thought to be safely above the planet for Mars orbit insertion, but it was much lower. The spacecraft flew through the atmosphere during orbit insertion, causing the spacecraft to be destroyed by aeroheating.
A lesson that could have been learned there was that the English system of measurements must be expunged from the face of the earth (and the rest of the solar system). But it wasn't. NASA still uses a mish-mashes of mixed units. However, there are much bigger lessons to be learned here that apply to all walks of life.
* Communication between team members is essential. * Don't assume you know something -- verify * Have all interfaces documented and agreed to by all team members * A simulation of the pieces does not equal the whole * A test of the pieces does not equal the whole * Expect the unexpected and have recovery options
Hubble's problems were due to an incorrectly assembled optical instrument that was used to grind the mirror. Then the same instrument was used to verify that the mirror had been correctly ground.

What is the difference between volumetric analysis and gravimetric analysis?
AnswerVolumetric analysis or titration is a common laboratory method of chemical analysis which can be used to determine the concentration of a known reactant; volumetry is a quantitative method of analysis.Qualitative analysis is used to separate and detect elements, functional groups, molecules etc. in a sample substance, without specifying concentration.
Why was fault tolerance a major focus of the initial design for the internet?
Fault tolerance was a major focus of the intitial design of the Internet because the serial data connections that formed the backbone of the Internet were noisy and subject to bit errors, both single and burst, because they often used telephone lines, and various techniques were developed to detect/retransmit or detect/correct errors. Data integrity was and is paramount, and most protection is provided at layer four (transport layer), although much work has been done recently to enhance layer 2 (network layer) and layer 1 (physical layer).

How do faulty construction practices lead to loss of life?
Faulty construction practices can result in major loss of life. This is because faulty buildings may collapse, or easily flood, or even move in a landslide.
