What is the uncertainty factor?
Content
Appropriate expression of the measurement uncertainty (MU) is crucial, and there are situations when the traditional, symmetric, expanded uncertainty interval is not sufficient. This leaflet aims to explain the concept of the uncertainty factor and how it can be used to provide a convenient and realistic uncertainty interval in particular circumstances..
