Estimation of Uncertainly in Analytical Balances ― Comparison of Mass Measurements Performed in Analytical Balances (LATU-1999)

摘要

The current paper provides the details of the main sources of uncertainty that occur when conventional mass determinations are performed in analytical balances. The data presented correspond to the calibration of 18 analytical balances that belong to LATU, together with the detailed quantification of each of the sources of uncertainty. The results of a comparison of conventional mass measurement performed in those balances with a Teflon sample are assessed, considering their uncertainty values.
