About this title

Synopsis

Literally and entire course between two covers, Measurement Uncertainty: Methods and Applications, Third Edition, presents engineering students with a comprehensive tutorial of measurement uncertainty methods in a logically categorized and readily utilized format. The book is designed to also serve as a practical desk reference n situations that commonly confront an experimenter. The text presents the basics of the measurement uncertainty model, the use of correlation, curve-fitting problems, probability plotting, combining results from different test models, calibration errors, and uncertainty propagation for both independent and dependent error sources. The author draws on years of experience in industry to direct special attention to the problem of developing confidence in uncertainty analysis results and using measurement uncertainty to select instrumentation systems.
