Type B Evaluation :

For Reference Instrument

U1 = 1.917 µm Uncertainty reported in the calibration certificate of reference instrument
Uncertianty in ULM calibration is given as ±(0.25+L/300),
taking L= 500mm since ULM is not used beyond that length

U2 = 0.500 µm Uncertainty due to error in the reference instrument (accuracy of the instrument)
Maximam average deviation found in ULM calibration is -0.5µm

U3 = 0.050 µm Uncertainty due to resolution of the reference instrument (50% 0f L.C of ULM)

For Reference Master

U4 = 0.700 µm Uncertainty reported in the calibration certificate of thread wire

U5 = 0.500 µm Uncertained due to error in the thread wire

For Environment Conditions

U6 = 0.500 °C Uncertainty due to environmental control of lab
Sensitivity Coefficient = Length * αdifference = 0.009 µm/°C

U7 = 0.200 °C Uncertainty due to difference in temperatures of gauge and the instrument

Sensitivity Coefficient = Length * αaverage = 0.097 µm/°C

U8 = 0.200 °C Uncertainty due to temperature variation during calibration

Sensitivity Coefficient = Length * αdifference = 0.009 µm/°C

U9 = 0.400 °C Uncertainty due to error in temperature measurement

Sensitivity Coefficient = Length * αdifference = 0.009 µm/°C

U10 = 1.100 µm/m/°C Uncertainty in thermal expansion coefficients of the gauge & reference (10% of avg α)
Sensitivity Coefficient = Length * Temp.difference = 0.004 m°C
