Test Method and Measurement Uncertainty

课程简介

/ Indicative Syllabus Test Methods • Types and roles of test methods • Criteria approach for selection of test methods • Validation/verification of test methods • Quality control practices Measurement Uncertainty • Statistical tools for treatment of data from analysis and measurement • Estimation of measurement uncertainty based on relevant international practices • Reporting and interpretation of test results taking into consideration of measurement uncertainty

目标

This subject aims at providing the students with the principles of selection and validation of test methods for ensuring traceability, reliability and adequacy in performance of the methods, and the quality control measures for ensuring quality of test data. It also introduces the concept and the approaches for the estimation of measurement uncertainty which is an important factor for consideration during interpretation of test results.

先修要求

Metrology and Calibration

Teaching Pattern

Methodology Lectures are used to introduce the principles and practices of test methods and measurement uncertainty. During tutorial case studies will be discussed to illustrate the requirements of test method validation and how to estimate measurement uncertainty.
