Guide to the Uncertainty of Measurement (GUM) Overall Measurement Uncertainty Calculations Qb =Volume flow rate at base conditions Given

that Pb and Tb are fixed (by definition) the relative (percentage) combined standard uncertainty in the measurement is given by the following equation: u(Qb)2 = uQf2+ uPf2 + uTf2 + uZf2 Uncertainty in the Uncorrected Volume Flow rate, Qf uQf2 = uQf Cal2 + uQf Field 2 Enter uQf Cal2 0.02 %, as estimated by flow laboratory Enter uQf Field 2 0.002 %, as estimated by user with prover 0.0004 % uQf = Uncertainty in the Measurement of Pressure uPf2 = uPf Cal2 + uPf Field 2 Enter uPf Cal2 0.07 %, as estimated by test equipment vendor Enter uPf Field 2 0.02 %, as estimated by field equipment vendor uPf = 0.004 % Uncertainty in the Measurement of Temperature uTf2 = uTf Cal2 + uTf Field 2 Enter uTf Cal2 0.03 %, as estimated by test equipment vendor Enter uTf Field 2 0.02 %, as estimated by field equipment vendor 0.001 % uTf = Uncertainty in the Determination of Compressibility uZf2 = 0 %, coverage factor K=1, estimated for the given combinations of pressure, temperature and compression uZf = 0.000 % Combined Uncertainty (percent) u(Qb)2 = uQf+ uPf + uTf + uZf u(Qb)2 = 0.000 + u(Qb) = 0.079 %
