It is very important for anyone interested in the evaluation of measurement uncertainty to fully understand the very basic principles in calculating the combined standard uncertainty. Let’s look at some worked examples ….
In evaluating the combined uncertainty of a testing method from various sources of uncertainty, we need to ensure that we work on a platform of standard uncertainties expressed as standard deviations throughout, because in addition to the standard uncertainty (u) values obtained by our own evaluation (Type A uncertainty), we may also encounter the so-called Type B uncertainty contributions which are uncertainty (U) values given by a third party or from experience and other information in different forms. Read on … How to calculate standard uncertainties for each source of uncertainty
