Abstract

Monte Carlo method has been implemented for uncertainty estimation in IPRT calibration. The work is based on the Callendar van Dusen equation for 0–500 °C calibration range. Derivation of the mathematics model for running the simulation is also described. Results are compared with output from the traditional GUM method and we find close agreement between two methods.
