For high-precision measurements of strain gauge-based transducers, 225 Hz carrier frequency measuring amplifiers are primarily used. The benefits of this carrier frequency method were discussed in previous publications. This publication shows the measurement uncertainty that can be achieved by calibrating an amplifier based on this method. Possibilities for improving the measurement uncertainty and the physical limit from the user's point of view are shown.

The new facility is part of the 1 MN force standard machine [1] of the PTB. It enables the simultaneous generation of a torque in the range from 20 N·m to 2 kN·m in addition to axial forces 20 kN to 1 MN.

The precision line scale calibration in dynamical mode of operation is considered. A new interferometer-controlled comparator with moving microscope has been developed and optimised in order to reduce both the measurement uncertainty and calibration process duration. Modal analysis performed and measurements conducted of the spatial vibrations of comparator structure revealed that dynamically-induced errors can noticeably contribute to the measurement uncertainty budget. They can be prominently reduced, in particular, by proper improvement and optimisation of the carriage structure and elimination of the dry friction in the carriage drive.

A measurement flexure calibration set-up is presented in this paper. The measurement flexures under test are part of a new 5 MN · m standard torque machine measurement system at the PTB. The calibration set-up can create transversal forces up to 200 N and bending moments up to 100 N · m and respectively up to 150 N · m torque moments simultaneously. The measurement uncertainty budget of the set-up is investigated in a theoretical analysis.

One of the most important challenges in fluid mechanics, gas dynamics, and hydraulic machinery fields is measuring the flow velocity with high accuracy. It is more important in large systems; such as thermal power stations, large scale power generations, and combined cycle power plants. The exact estimation of the measurement uncertainty inflow velocity is extremely important in evaluating the accuracy of the measurement. This work describes the problem of estimating measurement uncertainty when there are two or more dominant components of the uncertainty budget. . Two methods, analytical and numerical methods are used to study the comparative analysis for the results of determining the expanded uncertainty of measurement using two methods: analytical method and the numerical method. The analytical method uses the law of uncertainty propagation and is based on the estimation of uncertainty values of type A and B, while the numerical technique depends on the evaluation of measured samples by the Monte Carlo method using a random number generator. The aim of this article is to show the Monte Carlo method as an alternative way to determine the distribution of individual components of the measurement uncertainty budget. Also, the measurement of liquid flow velocity by an ultrasonic method has been analyzed, which is commonly used due to high measurement accuracy and non-invasiveness. Due to the complexity of the equation defining the measured flow velocity, determining the measurement uncertainty is not an easy task.

This contribution discusses the influence of the source impedance on the complex sensitivity of a charge amplifier (CA). During calibration of a CA with varying source impedances deviations at higher frequencies were observed, which if not properly taken into account may generate systematic errors beyond the limits of the measurement uncertainty budget. The contribution discusses a model to describe the effect as well as an extension to established CA calibration procedures which allow to quantify and correct the effect.

The number of components of a thermographic temperature measurement uncertainty budget and their ultimate contribution depend on the conditions in which the measurement is performed. The acquired data determine the accuracy with which the uncertainty component is estimated. Unfortunately, when some factors have to be taken into account, it is difficult to determine the value of the uncertainty component caused by the occurrence of this factor. In the case of a thermographic temperature measurement, such a factor is the lack of sharpness of the registered thermogram. This problem intensifies when an additional macro lens must be used. Therefore, it is decided to commence research to prepare an uncertainty budget of thermographic measurement with an additional macro lens based on the B method described in EA-4/02 (European Accreditation publications). As a result, the contribution of factors in the uncertainty budget of thermographic measurement with additional macro lens and the value of expanded uncertainty were obtained.
