    Uncertainty Budget Template

    Uploaded by

    shahazad
    This uncertainty budget template is intended for simple measurements where uncertainties can be treated independently and are estimated with high confidence. It provides an example calibration of a micrometer at 25mm using grade 2 gauge blocks, with uncertainties from the gauge blocks, instrument resolution, repeatability, temperature difference, and coefficient of thermal expansion. The combined standard uncertainty is 0.7um and expanded uncertainty at a coverage factor of 2 is 1.44um.

    This template for a simplified uncertainty budget is provided with the compliments of the Calibration Laboratory Assessment Program (CLAS)
    of the National Research Council Canada who assumes no responsibility or liability for any unintentional errors. It remains the user's responsibility
    to validate the calculations and to confirm suitability for the particular purpose.
    The template is designed for simple cases when:
    - the components of uncertainty can be treated as independent of each other;
    - dominant components of uncertainty can be estimated with reasonably high confidence; and
    - the measurement result is measured directly or is computed through a linear equation involving only multiplication and/or division (e.g., W = V x I).
