COMPARISON OF TWO DIFERENT APPROACHES IN THE UNCERTAINTY CALCULATION OF GRAVIMETRIC VOLUME CALIBRATION

Elsa Batista, Nelson Almeida, Eduarda Filipe, João Alves e Sousa
Abstract:
The uncertainty calculation in the calibration of volumetric instruments is normally performed with the classical approach of the “mainstream GUM”. In order to validate the obtained results, since there is a degree of non linearity involved in handling the corresponding expression of volume, a Monte Carlo method was used as a second approach for calculation of that measurement uncertainty. The results of this comparison and corresponding conclusions are presented.
