Applied Measurement Uncertainty for Testing Laboratories
Course Delivery: In-Person Training, Virtual Live Training, Training for Teams
This course has multiple delivery options to fit our customers’ individual needs. Click the tabs below for more information on each option.
In-Person Training consists of public classes conducted by one of our subject matter experts at one of our designated locations in one or more consecutive days.
Target Audience
Target learners include testing laboratory managers, engineers, scientists, or technicians.
Prerequisites
Participants should:
- Had successful completion of QCTS’ Introduction to Measurement Uncertainty virtual course, OR have working knowledge of mathematics and statistics (such as root sum squares and statistical distributions);
- Be proficient in spreadsheet use; and
- Be working in a testing laboratory with test methods requiring measurement uncertainty estimates.
Course Objectives
After successful completion of the course, participants will be able to:
1. Discuss the concepts within the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty of Measurement (The GUM);
2. List and define the contributors for testing laboratory Type ‘A’ and Type ‘B’ measurement uncertainty distributions;
3. Determine how contributors are considered for inclusion in the uncertainty budget; and
4. Build a basic Test Measurement Uncertainty Budget.
Materials
EQUIPMENT NEEDED:
The participant will need a laptop computer (PC or MAC) with Microsoft Excel or similar spreadsheet installed. Please note that the tablet and smart phone versions of Excel and other spreadsheets do not have the full functionality of the PC versions and the participant may not be able to utilize all the power of the spreadsheet covered during the training.
Training Time: 16 hours
Continuing Education Credits (CEUs): 1.4
This training is accredited by the International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET) and is authorized to issue the IACET CEU.
