Uncertainty Budget
The uncertainty budget table shows a break down of the different components that contribute to the overall calculated uncertainty.
The values input into the uncertainty budget are derived from the measured pressure and the transmitter specific values relating to its calibration and specification. These values are taken in as the expanded uncertainties and are divided by a coverage factor to gain the standard uncertainty.
The coverage factor is determined by the probability distribution that best suits that uncertainty component. The standard uncertainty is then multiplied by the sensitivity value then squared. This is done for each component that contributes to the overall uncertainty in density or standard density. The Standard Uncertainty in density or standard density is the square root of the sum of each component variance as shown in the following equation:
Calculated Uncertainty
The Expanded Uncertainty is the Standard Uncertainty multiplied by the coverage factor (k). The coverage factor is defaulted to k = 2 (equivalent to a confidence level of approximately 95%).
The Relative Uncertainty is the Expanded Uncertainty divided by the density or standard density depending on the parameter.
