Excellent Force and Uncertainty Training - Applied Fundamentals of Force Calibration
FORCE AND UNCERTAINTY TRAINING COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course will cover applied force calibration techniques and will include live demonstrations using secondary standards to exhibit potential errors made in everyday force measurements. The measurement errors demonstrated and discussed will include errors associated with improper alignment, use of different and/or incorrect adapter types, thread depth, and thread loading. The course will cover the basics of measurement uncertainty and provide the tools for anyone to put together a CMC or uncertainty budget.
We will cover the basics required for you to understand the requirements and get you running by providing practical examples and worksheets that you can apply to estimate the measurement uncertainty required for ISO/IEC 17025 and ANSI Z540.3 requirements. The ISO Guide 98-3 (GUM) process is broken down into a simple process and applied for you to implement in your laboratory whether it is for calculating the measurement uncertainty for reporting your CMC (Calibration and Measurement Capability) for your scope of accreditation or for reporting it on your calibration report for the customer (ILAC P14 requirement).
