Objectives

The objective of this course is to provide participants with fundamental of metrology relating to mechanical testing, understand the methods and approaches to estimate measurement uncertainty (MU).

Course Outline

1.  To understand basic statistical tools for estimating measurement uncertainty.

·  Metrological traceability

·  Report results and uncertainty

2.  To understand the methods and approaches for measurement uncertainty estimation using principle of ISO Guide to the expression of uncertainty in measurement (GUM).

·  Specification of measurand

·  Identify sources of uncertainty

·  Quantify the components of uncertainty

·  Convert uncertainty data into standard uncertainties

·  Estimate combined uncertainty and expanded uncertainty

3.  To provide step-by-step instructions, worked examples and exercises on the estimation of measurement uncertainty for measurements relating to:

·  Dimension

·  Hardness

·  Pressure/ Force

As the course will include exercises (calculations) in estimation of measurement uncertainty, participants are encouraged to bring their laptops with MS Excel or appropriate calculating devices.

Who should attend?

·  Technical staff of laboratories involved in applying or maintaining accreditation requirements in the areas of mechanical testing.

·  Members of SAC Technical Committee and Technical Assessors in the areas of mechanical testing.

About the trainer

Mr Wan obtained his Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical) from National University of Singapore in 1985. He has over 10 years of experience in managing a calibration laboratory specialise in electronic and some mechanical and dimensional calibration. He is largely responsible for the statistical analysis of calibration results and estimation of measurement uncertainty using GUM. Currently, he is involved in accreditation activity as external lead assessor in SAC. In line with the initiative of SAC, he would share his practical experience with managers and professionals who are interested in estimating the measurement uncertainty for the measurements done in the laboratories.
