A. PRACTICAL PURPOSE
B. BASIC THEORY
1. Introduction
The quality of the measurement results is also influenced by the way in which
the measurement results are delivered. In this guide will be presented how to
deliver measurement results and the uncertainty that accompanies it.
Each measuring instrument has a scale value that cannot be subdivided, this
Scale Value is called the Smallest Scale Value (NST) of the measuring
instrument. The accuracy of the measurements we do depends on this NST. In
Figure 1.1 the scale of a ruler is shown, usually referred to as the main scale.
Figure 1.1 main scale of the bar
Suppose the main scale and nonius scale of the measuring instrument are the
main scale (SU) and the nonius scale (SN) and the nonius scale position which
coincides with the main scale is N1 The results of the measurement readings are
searched by the following formula:
Figure 1.2.a The nonius zero point position coincides with the main scale before
measurement
Suppose when measuring nonius scale and nonius scale as shown in figure 2.b.
Observe the results of the main scale reading without nonius then observe the
nonius scale that coincides with the main scale, from here it is obtained N1
From Figure 1.2.b, the result of reading the main scale without nonius is 3.1
units and N1 = 7. The result of reading the measurement is
The basic measuring tools that will be studied in this guide are calipers, screw
micrometers, engineering balance, ruler, protractor and stopwatch.
a. Rule
b. Calipers
The shear term is a measuring instrument for long physical quantities that has a
primary scale and a nonius scale. Figure 1.3. The calipers are used to measure
the length of the test tube, outer diameter, and diameter in the test tube. To
determine the results of the measurement readings from the calipers, the
equation (1.1) above is used
c. Micrometer Screw
Screw micrometers also have a main scale and a nonius scale as shown in
Figure 1.4. Screw micrometers are usually used to measure thickness of thin
objects such as thick paper, thick cardboard, and others. To determine the
reading from the screw micrometer, equation (1) above is used.
3. Observe the nonius scale that coincides parallel to the horizontal line on the
main scale, Suppose N2
N1 + (N2 * NST)
In the technical balance sheet type 310 g there are four loads that can be shifted,
namely: 0 to 1 gram; 0 to 100 grams; 0 to 200 grams
(Ramli, 2017: 5)
e. Stopwatch
Stopwatch is a time measurement tool, more precisely the time interval between
two events or physical events observed. The stopwatch can be activated and
deactivated (turned off). When starting something the stopwatch measurement
is activated and after the measurement is complete the stopwatch is deactivated.
The time indicated by the stopwatch is the time interval from our
measurements.
Stopwatch is divided into two types: analog stopwatch and digital stopwatch.
Analog stopwatches have short needles and long needles. Long needle
movement shows the time in seconds while the short needle shows the time in
minutes. The reader time on the digital stopwatch is immediately read in the
form of a number that appears on the display in the stopwatch body.
For each time you take measurements, the measuring instrument must be
calibrated first
4. Measurement uncertainty
a. Single measurement
If the measurement is done once or single, the measurement results are reported
by:
X = .................. 1.2
With
X: physical quantity measured (eg length, mass time and physical quantity)
X: the number read on the measuring instrument
Ax: absolute uncertainty
b. Repeated measurements
Repeated measurements are more measurements
from one time, but can be distinguished between measurements taken
several times (2 or 3 times) with fairly frequent measurements (10 times
or more. The average measurement value can be reported as X while
the biggest deviation or deviation is reported as ΔX.
Deviation is the difference between each measurement result from the average
value
d. Indirect measurement
Indirect measurement is the measurement of a quantity by comparing it directly
with the reference quantity
(Wirasasmita, 1989: 8-11)
5. Meaningful Numbers
The number means (AB) shows the number of digits that will be reported in the
final result of the measurement. Meaningful number related to Relative Error
(KR). The rule of thumb that connects between KR and AB is
AB
The AB value is rounded according to the rounding rules.
