MEASUREMENT UNCERTAINTY EVALUATION ASSOCIATED WITH CALIBRATION FUNCTIONS

M. G. Cox, Alistair B. Forbes, P. M. Harris, I. M. Smith
Abstract:
Calibration procedures are widely implemented in metrology. This paper considers the evaluation of measurement uncertainty associated with the use of a calibration function. Three methods for uncertainty evaluation are described and the differences in the results returned are discussed. A simple calibration function is used to illustrate these differences.
