About this title

Synopsis

A practical reference on the theory and methods of estimating measurement errors and uncertainty, this text is for both scientists and engineers. Building on the fundamentals of measurement theory, it offers a wealth of recommendations and procedures, balancing coverage of probabilistic methods with detailed information on the characterization, calibration, standardization and limitations of measuring instruments, with specific examples from electrical and mechanical systems. In addition to a general updating reflecting cutting-edge research, this edition includes increased discussion of indirect measurements, with a simpler, more efficient method examined in detail.

About the Author

Rabinovich was head of the Laboratory of Theoretical Metrology at the All-Union State Research Institute of Metrology in the former Soviet Union. His theory of galvanometrical self-balancing instruments led to the creation of numerous new measuring devices.
