Statistical methods and metrological validation of measurement system software

  • Published:
Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

An approach to metrological validation of measuring system software based on the “benchmark data” method is analyzed, and results achieved with this approach for the case of a problem of determining the flow rate of natural gas are discussed.
