The technique which is recommended by the regulatory bodies ISO (International Organisation for Standardisation) and BIPM (Bureau International des Poids et Mesures) is one of the most comprehensive ...

Monte Carlo methods have emerged as a crucial tool in the evaluation of measurement uncertainty, particularly for complex or non-linear measurement systems. By propagating full probability ...

Measurement uncertainty, as described in ISO/IEC Guide 98, is a “parameter, associated with the result of a measurement, [which] characterizes the dispersion of values that could reasonably be ...

Performing a measurement uncertainty calculation is often seen as problematic. One of the barriers to be overcome in the wider application of measurement uncertainty (MU) to reportable values is the ...

Precision can be defined as the closeness in agreement of results during a series of repeat measurements under presumed identical conditions. These results are often expressed as a standard deviation.

All measurements are subject to error. When a reportable value is derived from a measurement or series of measurements, this value is only an estimate of the “true ...

Ensuring parts meet specification is crucial and so it helps to have confidence in your measurement system. Parts that don’t meet specification, whether gauging composition or measuring thickness, ...

In the test and measurement industry, two distinct camps exist: those who favor vector network analyzers (VNA) and those who favor time domain reflectometers (TDR). Each camp relies heavily upon its ...

Recent advancements in quantum sensing show how to navigate the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, improving sensitivity for ...
