MEASUREMENT UNCERTAINTY COMBINED WITH THE MODEL OF PRODUCT AND MEASUREMENT REALIZATION IN 3D METROLOGY

C. R. Baldo, G. D. Donatelli
Abstract:
Even though coordinate metrology has been proven to be priceless to industries and despite the existence of methods to estimate uncertainties, e.g. sensitivity analysis, computer simulation, experimental method; uncertainty has been barely assessed and stated by industrial metrologists. Part of that perception may be attributed to a restricted way of employing the measurement uncertainty concept, which is not compatible with the growing importance of metrology. The merging of the well-known product and measurement realization process with measurement uncertainty concept is outlined in this work. The main idea is to use in a rational sense different techniques of evaluating the uncertainty of a measurement result, where the estimated accuracy required to the uncertainty estimation defines the suitable technique. Within the proposed context, the drawing-up of classical uncertainty budgets for GPS characteristics are shown and discussed for different measurement scenarios.
