Practical Applications of an Enhanced Uncertainty Model for Build-Up Systems

• Abstract:

  This paper describes the development of a new uncertainty model for build-up systems (BU systems) within the scope of the EMRP SIB 63 project, which deals with transfer standards in the meganewton range. The paper, in general, describes an optimized way of lowering uncertainties when using BU systems. We present the results of our investigation on how to optimize mechanical design for such systems, as well as a measurement procedure and a derived uncertainty model. Finally, the usefulness of this theory is demonstrated in three practical applications at NPL (London, UK), at the MPA (Braunschweig, Germany) and at FJIM (Fuzhou, China).
