The course material is divided into four parts. 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. This course is designed for senior technicians and engineers.

The student will learn how to make various types of measurements using different measurement methods. We will also teach techniques for making good high precision measurements using reference standards. A class project will teach the student how to collect and analyze data from a series of measurements to determine the device's value, and the uncertainty associated with it. The student will be competent to make good measurements in a standards lab after passing the final exam.

Statistical Process Control (SPC) using control chart methods is normally thought of as manufacturing and process oriented statistical analysis tools. So, why utilize them in testing and calibration laboratory applications? They are used in many indirect ways in testing and calibration environment even when laboratory personnel do not think they are using them. When one checks their standards at a regular interval, performs intermediate checks and record the data, they are informally performing the first half function of control charts.

This workshop formalizes that approach, so useful information such as measurement uncertainty is derived from the data gathering exercise. Typical applications of control charts extend to:

Check Standards, Stability Studies, Characterizing Drift, Long Term Reproducibility
Determining Realistic Tolerances, Determining Measurement Uncertainties

Timely, hands-on examples and practical applications are demonstrated during the workshop to provide familiarity and experience. Knowledge of basic math is required but no other prior experience is necessary.
Topics Covered

Mean, Mode, Median, Range Types of Control Charts
Population and Sample Standard Deviation Decision rules for interpreting Control Chart data
Standard Deviation of the Mean SPC Applications in Calibration & Testing
Histogram, Bell Curve, Central Limit Theorem Process Capability and determining risks
z, t and F distributions Gage R & R and ANOVA techniques
Measurement Uncertainty from SPC Using spreadsheets for SPC

This workshop uses computer spreadsheets (Microsoft Excel© ) and other software applications to demonstrate SPC techniques. Attendees are provided a 30-day trial version of an Excel Add-in application for SPC and other useful tools. Workshop participants are encouraged to bring a scientific calculator to the workshop to perform exercises. All other materials are provided. Use of a laptop computer is allowed but not necessary.

Primary emphasis in this course is placed on the principles and practices used in the calibration of pressure standards and measuring instruments including piston gauges, digital pressure controllers, and other elastic transducers. The course includes laboratory exercises, lecture and discussions on pressure measurement hardware and influences, demonstrations of pressure measurement techniques, and numerous hands-on projects. The group projects include both hydraulic and pneumatic pressure measurements and formal calibrations from 0.2 psi absolute to approximately 10,000 psi in the gauge mode.

Seminar includes the following topics:

High precision piston gauge crossfloat with <1 part per million (ppm) performance.
Low accuracy piston gauge crossfloat.
Hydraulic bourdon tube dial gauge calibrated directly with hydraulic piston gauge.
Gas bourdon tube dial gauge calibrated using hydraulic piston gauge and 5 ppm liquid-gas separator.
High pressure absolute transducer calibration using hydraulic piston gauge and barometer.
High precision transducer calibration using gas piston gauge.
Subatmospheric absolute transducer calibration using gas piston gauge and reference pressure monitor.

This advanced pressure metrology course is designed for metrologists, laboratory and quality assurance technicians, supervisors, engineers, and others interested in the principles of static pressure measurement.
