Calculating Your Uncertainty Budget… on engineering.com

This is a detailed article explaining how you can calculate an uncertainty budget. It follows my previous introduction to Metrology and Quality in Manufacturing. My previous article introduced the idea that all measurements have uncertainty. This uncertainty stems from different sources, including repeatability, calibration and the environment. To find the uncertainty of a measurement result, we must first estimate the contribution from each source and then calculate the combined uncertainty. Uncertainty budgets provide a relatively simple way to do this. Read the full article, published on engineering.com, here…
