PLEASE NOTE: This class is suitable for those laboratories whose tests and/or calibrations fall within the category of Type IV or V in accordance with the Policy on Estimating Measurement Uncertainty for Testing Laboratories.
INTRODUCTION:
The course is suitable for all personnel of both Calibration and Testing laboratories
It follows the same approach which the A2LA has used over the past few years , except that the duration has been extended ( on request by a number of participants ) to 2 days.
Every effort is made to eliminate unnecessary complications, to apply the GUM at its simplest level and to take away apparent mystery . Participants who have never drawn up uncertainty budgets before usually develop the required skill well before the end of the class. Others who seek explanations of GUM complexities obtain clarifications expressed in simple terms .
Measurement uncertainty problems are solved by brainstorming methods so as to generate interaction by all participants .

Managing Measurement Uncertainty is the discipline of optimizing the uncertainty and cost of the measurements we make in the company. Without a systematic approach and the right tools, we are bound to make our measurements too good, too poor or too expensive - and we will not even know it!
The seminar focuses on the concept of uncertainty, where the uncertainty comes from and how you can control it.
If you are comfortable using a calculator with a square root function, you have the mathematical background needed to get the full benefit of this seminar.
There is no statistical theory, endless crunching of numbers or partial derivatives to worry about.
You will learn how to use the knowledge you already have about your measuring processes to develop uncertainty budgets that can be used as a management tool to help you make informed decisions.
You will learn how to start with a rough uncertainty estimate that can be generated in 5 minutes and refine it only to the extent it makes sense for your purpose.
The seminar is based on the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM) and ISO/TS 14253-2

This course is designed for:
Technicians
Non-Engineers
We place a lot of emphasis on basic flow phenomena such as:
Relationship between pressure drop and flowrate
Basic fluid properties: density and viscosity
Relationships between pipe diameter, velocity, and flowrate
Topics covered include:
measurement principles
fluid properties & flow phenomena
traceability & uncertainty
primary and secondary calibration
meter design & selection
differential producers
turbine meters
vortex meters
magnetic meters
Coriolis mass meters
critical flow
ultrasonic meters
troubleshooting of measurement equipment
sampling system design
prover design & applications
installation effects
ANSI/ISO flow standards
The discussion of meter hardware is kept at a basic level:
How does a meter work?
What are the "most likely" and "least likely" applications?
Emphasis on graphs rather than equations to communicate ideas
The CEESI technician staff provides a significant contribution in presenting the "nuts and bolts" details:
Measurement of pressure and temperature
Installing a meter
Data acquisition systems
The differences between the Fundamental course and the Comprehensive Flow Measurement courses include:
The courses overlap by about 10%-20% of the material. A student that signs up for both will be prepared for the second week after completing the first. There will be some repetition that serves as a review but much of the second week's material will be new.
Both courses will cover the same hardware, much greater detail is provided in the advanced course.
The fundamentals course includes a review of basic flow phenomena, the advanced course assumes this knowledge
A basic background in algebra, fluid mechanics, and thermodynamics is helpful for the advanced course. This background is not required for the fundamentals course.
The advanced course will include development of working equations for some of the flowmeter types, equations are generally avoided in the fundamentals course.
The behavior of a particular meter technology is presented in a very general way in the fundamentals course. In the advanced course, the underlying physics are explored.
The fundamentals course includes more meter selection and meter comparison material.
While a comprehensive set of notes on CD is included with the coures, there is an additional $75 charge to receive a printed copy of the notes. Lunch is provided daily.

Several subjects are presented in a general way because they apply to a range of hardware, these include:
Mass flow vs. volume flow
Reynolds number
Velocity profile
Measurement uncertainty
State equations
The differences between the Fundamental Flow Measurement and Comprehensive courses include:
The courses overlap by about 10%-20% of the material. A student that signs up for both will be prepared for the second week after completing the first. There will be some repetition that serves as a review but much of the second week's material will be new.
Both courses will cover the same hardware, much greater detail is provided in the comprehensive course.
The fundamentals course includes a review of basic flow phenomena, the comprehensive course assumes this knowledge
A basic background in algebra, fluid mechanics, and thermodynamics is helpful for the comprehensive course. This background is not required for the fundamentals course.
The comprehensive course will include development of working equations for some of the flowmeter types, equations are generally avoided in the fundamentals course.
The behavior of a particular meter technology is presented in a very general way in the fundamentals course. In the comprehensive course, the underlying physics are explored.
The fundamentals course includes more meter selection and meter comparison material.

The course is designed to provide value to students from a broad range of industries. Students will find the material applicable to both calibration and manufacturing processes. The material is based on CEESI’s 40 years of experience in the operation of gas and liquid flow calibration facilities. This experience includes the measurement of pressure, temperature, gas composition, and mass as well as the operation of data acquisition systems. The material is example based, the fundamental concepts are taught by exploring a variety of real world applications. The necessary statistical concepts are reinforced based on numerical simulation.
This course is designed for:
Senior Technicians
Engineers
This course is broken into four parts which include:
Part 1:
The primary objective for the first day is the presentation of a step by step method for performing an uncertainty analysis. This is accomplished with extensive detail based on three independent examples. In parallel, the statistical concept of the standard deviation is introduced and developed based on computer simulation. While the step by step method is based on the new “ISO GUM” it is also applicable to the older method.
Part 2:
Statistical process control (SPC) has long been recognized as a valuable tool in manufacturing operations. The application of SPC techniques to instrument calibration and uncertainty is discussed in Part 2. Three examples that progressively become more complex, are used to teach this subject. Two are based on pressure transducers, the third is based on flowmeter calibration. Techniques are discussed that monitor the state of control, define components of uncertainty, and identify long and short term random effects.
Part 3:
The third part consists of a variety of shorter subjects. Youden analysis aids in the identification of uncertainty sources. Risk management involves the uncertainty issues associated with defining pass/fail criteria. Traceability includes uncertainty components associated with calibration. Other subjects include correlation, regression, and uncertainty intervals.
Part 4
Part 4 provides example analyses of the instruments and components that make up a larger uncertainty analysis. Instrumentation includes pressure transducers, flowmeters, voltmeters and electronic counters. The discussion includes comparisons between instrumentation with different performance specifications. This part of the course also includes uncertainty associated with equations of state.

Managing Measurement Uncertainty is the discipline of optimizing the uncertainty and cost of the measurements we make in the company. Without a systematic approach and the right tools, we are bound to make our measurements too good, too poor or too expensive - and we will not even know it!
The seminar focuses on the concept of uncertainty, where the uncertainty comes from and how you can control it.
If you are comfortable using a calculator with a square root function, you have the mathematical background needed to get the full benefit of this seminar.
There is no statistical theory, endless crunching of numbers or partial derivatives to worry about.
You will learn how to use the knowledge you already have about your measuring processes to develop uncertainty budgets that can be used as a management tool to help you make informed decisions.
You will learn how to start with a rough uncertainty estimate that can be generated in 5 minutes and refine it only to the extent it makes sense for your purpose.
The seminar is based on the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM) and ISO/TS 14253-2
