WI/06 Procedure For Calculation of Uncertainty of Sensor With Probe

This document provides a work instruction for calibrating thermocouple and RTD temperature sensors and transmitters. It outlines a procedure for calculating measurement uncertainty that involves determining various sources of uncertainty, including repeatability, the master sensor, stability, non-uniformity, resolution, drift, and inhomogeneity. It defines terms like combined uncertainty, expanded uncertainty, probability distributions, and assigns sensitivity coefficients to each source of uncertainty when calculating the combined and expanded uncertainties.

Procedure for Calculation of Uncertainty of Sensor with probe

1.1 SCOPE
The following method of calculating the uncertainty is based on a
measurement Uncertainty in compliance to " Expression of Uncertainty &
confidence in measurement.", UKAS M3003.

TYPE A: Standard Deviation

1.2 PARAMETERS
The parameter which are used for calculating uncertainty, are Uexp is
Expanded Uncertainty.

Uexp = k x UC
And

UC = Ua + Umas + Ustb + Uun + Ures + Udrf + Uin.m + Uin.b

Where,
Ua – Uncertainty due to repeatability
Umas – Uncertainty due to the master sensor
Ustb – Uncertainty due to Stability of liquid bath / dry block
Uun – Uncertainty due to non uniformity of liquid bath / dry block
Ures – Uncertainty due to resolution of UUC
Udrf – Uncertainty due to drift of the master instrument
Uin.m - Uncertainty due to inhomogeneity of thermocouple ( if used ).
UC – Combined uncertainty
Uexp – Expanded Uncertainty

1.3 CALCULATIONS

a) Uncertainty Due to Repeatability


Here, probability of distribution is type A
Ua = Std Deviation
√n

b) Uncertainty due to the master sensor


Probability of distribution is Normal
Umas = Uncertainty of master

c) Uncertainty Due to Stability of liquid bath


Probability of distribution is Rectangular
Ustb = Stability of bath
√3

d) Uncertainty Due to non-uniformity of bath


Probability of distribution is Rectangle
Uun = Actual non – uniformity
√3

e) Uncertainty due to Resolution


Probability of distribution is Rectangular
Ures = Actual Resolution * 1/2
√3

f) Uncertainty due to drift of the master instrument.

Probability of distribution is Rectangular


Udft = Actual Drift
√3

g) Uncertainty due to inhomogeneity of thermocouple

Probability of distribution is Rectangular


Udft = Actual inhomogenity
√3

Combined Uncertainty

UC = Ua2 + Ustb2 + Uun2 + Ures2 + Uin.m2 + Uin.b2+ Udft 2


Expanded Uncertainty
Uexp = 2 x UC

where k = 2 is the coverage factor for 95% distribution.
