Particular Cases of the Calculation of the Errors (Uncertainties) of the Results of Direct Measurements with Multiple Observations

  • Published:
Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

Abstract

It is shown that an expression for the total error as defined in GOST 8.207-76 of the corrected results of a measurement possesses an anomaly when this error is less than one of its components, and that a similar anomaly occurs for the expanded uncertainty as defined in MI 2552-99. The error of uncorrected results of a measurement whose random component is distributed according to different laws is compared with calculations utilizing RD 50-453-84 and MI 1788-87.
