How to calculate combined uncertainty for NABL/ISO/IEC 17025:2017

Image
To calculate the uncertainty of your measurements, you'll need to find the best estimate of your measurement  and consider the results when you add or subtract the measurement of uncertainty. After measuring the individual uncertainty due to type A and type B, the combined uncertainty (U c ) is calculated as follows; U c  = √ (U 1 2  + U 1 2  + U 1 2 +……) Where; U 1,  U 2,  U 3  etc are uncertainties calculated with same units        Another method of combining uncertainty with different units of measure is fractional uncertainty. 1.      Identify the equation 2.      Calculate the fractional uncertainty for each contributor 3.      Calculate the combined uncertainty 4.      Convert the result to the desired unit of measure. The quantities that affects the measurand may not have a direct one to one relationship with it. Ind...
