It is more complex than you ever imagined.<\/p>\n<p>In this 30 page guide, I am going to teach everything that you need to know about resolution uncertainty and more. Here is the list of topics that I cover in this guide.<\/p>\n<p>1. What is resolution uncertainty<br \/>\n2. Why is resolution uncertainty important<br \/>\n3. Resolution uncertainty and uncertainty analysis<br \/>\n4. Resolution uncertainty equations<br \/>\n5. How to calculate resolution uncertainty by device type<br \/>\n6. Convert resolution uncertainty to standard uncertainty<br \/>\n7. Overstating and Understating Uncertainty in Measurement<br \/>\n8. Examples of resolution uncertainty with pictures<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Sure, I cover most of the standard stuff that I am sure that you already know from other popular uncertainty guides;<br \/>\n\u2022 What is resolution uncertainty,<br \/>\n\u2022 Why it is important, and<br \/>\n\u2022 How it relates to estimating uncertainty in measurement;<br \/>\n\u2022 How it is characterized; and<br \/>\n\u2022 How to convert it to standard uncertainty<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But, what about the all of the information that most uncertainty guides leave out?<br \/>\n\u2022 How to determine resolution uncertainty,<br \/>\n\u2022 How to evaluate resolution by equipment type,<br \/>\n\u2022 How to sub-divide analog scales (not just 0.5R or 0.6R) ,<br \/>\n\u2022 How to convert to standard uncertainty with the square root of 12 and why, and<br \/>\n\u2022 Real world examples with pictures.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do I have your attention now? If so, keep reading.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The biggest reason that I created this guide is I want you to learn is how to properly evaluate resolution uncertainty for your estimation of uncertainty in measurement.<br \/>\nFurthermore, I want you to know all of the options available to you, so you become an uncertainty calculation wizard like me.<br \/>\nKeep reading to see what you can expect to learn from this guide.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Resolution Uncertainty Equations<\/h2>\n<p>Instrument resolution can be evaluated several different ways. In this section, I will teach you all of the equations that you need to know to calculate resolution uncertainty.<br \/>\nPlus, I am going to show you how to subdivide the resolution of analog devices and scales to help you improve your uncertainty estimates and prevent you from reporting uncertainties that are larger than the instrument tolerances.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Resolution Uncertainty and Device Type<\/h2>\n<p>Resolution is evaluated differently depending on the type of device and how it operates.<br \/>\nIn this section, I am going to teach you how to calculate resolution uncertainty step by step for 3 common categories of measurement equipment;<br \/>\n\u2022 Digital Devices<br \/>\n\u2022 Analog Devices<br \/>\n\u2022 Artifacts<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Reducing Resolution Uncertainty<\/h2>\n<p>If you have estimated uncertainty before, I am sure that you know that resolution uncertainty is characterized with a Rectangular distribution, has an infinite number of degrees of freedom, and gets reduced by dividing it by the square root of 3.<br \/>\nHowever, did you know that you divide resolution uncertainty by the square root of 12?<br \/>\nIf not, I am going to teach why you can and how to do it.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Overstating and Understating Uncertainty<\/h2>\n<p>One of the biggest mistakes that I see people make is overstating and understating their uncertainty estimates. Many times, it is because instrument resolution was evaluated improperly.<br \/>\nTrust me, it has happened in my lab; and, I am sure that it has happened in yours too (whether you know or not).<br \/>\nI have even seen labs fail proficiency tests and get nonconformances because they understated resolution uncertainty in their estimates.<br \/>\nSo, I decided to give you a few pointers to help you become more aware of potential mistakes so you can prevent yourself from making them.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Examples with Pictures<\/h2>\n<p>Everyone likes examples, especially with pictures. So, I really went out of my way to give you plenty of them.<br \/>\nIn fact, this guide has <strong>19 examples with pictures<\/strong> to show you, in detail, how I determined the resolution uncertainty of some of the most common measurement equipment.<br \/>\nI covered how you should evaluate resolution uncertainty for;<br \/>\n\u2022 Digital Multimeters<br \/>\n\u2022 Digital Pressure Gauges<br \/>\n\u2022 Digital Stopwatches<br \/>\n\u2022 Digital Scales<br \/>\n\u2022 Digital Calipers<br \/>\n\u2022 Digital Flowmeters<br \/>\n\u2022 Precision Analog Pressure Gauges<br \/>\n\u2022 Industrial Analog Pressure Gauges<br \/>\n\u2022 Differential Pressure Magnehelics<br \/>\n\u2022 Liquid in Glass Thermometers<br \/>\n\u2022 Dial Indicators<br \/>\n\u2022 Torque Wrenches<br \/>\n\u2022 Torque Screwdrivers<br \/>\n\u2022 Dry Gas Meters<br \/>\n\u2022 Variable Area Flowmeters<br \/>\n\u2022 Burettes<br \/>\n\u2022 Spring Scales\/Force Gauge<br \/>\n\u2022 Calibration masses<br \/>\n\u2022 Gage Blocks<\/p>\n<h3>Now, get your copy of this guide.
