An STS classic: O’Connell, Joseph. 1993. Metrology: The Creation of Universality by the Circulation of Particulars.

A recent history one: Jackson&Wassermann 2022. "When standard measurement meets messy genitalia: Lessons from 20th century phallometry and cervimetry"

Besides Porter and Daston&Galison, two classics in Hist are
Simon Schaffer's 1988 "Astronomers Mark Time: Discipline and the Personal Equation" and 1992. Late Victorian Metrology and Its Instrumentation: A Manufactory of Ohms.
