Uncertainty ProTM

The Uncertainty Calculator is designed to evaluate the uncertainties of chemical and physical measurements and calibrations. The evaluation follows the rules of the ISO guide to the expression of uncertainty in measurement and the EURACHEM document Quantifying Uncertainty in Analytical Measurement 2000. The program guides the user to evaluate the measuring process: (1) to specify the relationship between the measured and the parameters upon which it depends, (2) to identify the sources that contribute to uncertainty, (3) to quantify of these contributions, and (4) to calculate the total uncertainty as requested by the ISO guide. The Uncertainty Calculator creates a cause and effect diagram (Ishikawa or 'fishbone' diagram) from the equation that specifies the relationship between y, the value of interest, and the various parameters that contribute to uncertainty. In the process of identifying factors that contribute to uncertainty the user can modify the diagram, for instance by adding other sources that contribute to the uncertainty. The process is made easy by the built-in powerful builder. The user is simply prompted to fill all branches of the diagram indicating the values of parameters and the associated uncertainty components. The program then automatically calculates the value of the property of interest (the measurand) and the final combined standard uncertainty, the effective degrees of freedom, the coverage factor, and the extended uncertainty which appear in the root cell of the diagram. The program generates a report that includes the variables used, their symbols and values, the assigned standard uncertainties, the calculated combined uncertainties, the estimated effective degrees of freedom, the sensitivity coefficients worked out by the model equation.

  • Creation and editing of the cause and effect diagrams
  • Automatic calculation of the measured value and related combined standard uncertainty defined by the cause and effect diagram
  • Database of models which contains preprocessed diagrams of various methods of a measurement
  • Database of the measurements represented by filled diagrams
  • Data administration based on the principle that one user can't intervene data of another
  • Examples that illustrate the capabilities of the Uncertainty Calculator
