Introduction to Measurement Uncertainty

Overview

Measurement is fundamental to the control of quality, efficiency and safety. This one day course is designed to impart a basic understanding of measurement uncertainty. Delegates will learn about the impact of uncertainty in industry, to identify important sources of uncertainty in measurement systems and receive practical guidance on the design of measurement techniques to minimize uncertainty.

Objective

This course will introduce delegates to the techniques required to identify what affects measurements and by how much. By ranking the effects, delegates will be able to guard against invalid conclusions and ensure that the key measurements are targeted for investment in new instrumentation.

The course is designed to impart a basic understanding of measurement uncertainty. Delegates will learn the appreciation of the impact of measurement uncertainty within the industry, to identify the important sources of uncertainty in measurement systems and receive practical guidance on the design of measurement techniques for improved uncertainty.

Who Should Attend

Research and Development Engineers, Instrumentation Engineers, Quality Managers, Technical Managers.
