Seminar Uncertainty of Measurement

Determination and calculation of uncertainties of measurement

Contents

  • Definition of the measurand and measurement task
  • Model formation, ideal model
  • Normal and metrological traceability
  • Determination of influence quantities
  • Calculation type A: repeated measurements
  • Determination of degrees of freedom
  • Best estimate: arithmetic mean value
  • Empirical standard deviation
  • Standard uncertainty: standard deviation
  • Type B: Data from other information sources
  • Distribution functions (Gaussian distribution, rectangular distribution)
  • Approach to rectangular distribution (width of distribution, half-width)
  • Probability density function with coverage interval
  • Consideration of correlated input variables
  • Linearization of the model, sensitivity coefficients
  • Compilation of the knowledge about the input variables
  • Compilation of the uncertainty balance
  • Specification of the complete measurement result (k-factor)
