Uncertainty
Basic uncertainties
1
Reference sensor uncertainty taken from its calibration certificate
Normal
(x/2)^2
2
Reference sensor long time drift after calibration
Rectangle
(x/SQRT(3))^2
3
Reference sensor resolution and reading error
Rectangle
(x/SQRT(3))^2
4
Hysteresis
Rectangle
(x/SQRT(3))^2
5
Cal sensor resolution and reading error
Rectangle
(x/SQRT(3))^2
6
Drift of ref sensor readings
Variation width
7
Drift of cal sensor readings
Variation width
6 or 7
Max drift from 2 values above
Variation width
(MAX([6],[7])/(2*SQRT(3)))^2
Other uncertainties
8a
Temp drift reference sensor, ± x ° C
Rectangle
(x/SQRT(3))^2
8b
Temp drift measuring object, ± x ° C
Rectangle
(x/SQRT(3))^2
8c
Repeatability
Rectangle
(x/SQRT(3))^2
9
Uncertainty ui
ui = SQRT of sum
Sum of squared column
Total measurement uncertainty (k=2) is calculated as 2*ui and rounded to 2 digits after coma.
If the result is smaller than 0.2 then 0.2 is reported on the certificate.
