 Uncertainty Analysis and Traceability
Serial Number:

Job Number: Data File Number:

Uncertainty Analysis:

The uncertainty analysis for the Iowa facility is performed using methods documented in the ISO GUM and NIST
Tech. Note 1297. Each component of uncertainty is classified as Type A or Type B and assigned a statistical
distribution (normal or rectangular). Numerical values for standard uncertainty, degrees of freedom, and
correlation coefficients are estimated. Standard uncertainty values are propagated by addition in quadrature as
described in the ISO GUM. The effective degrees of freedom are estimated using the Welch-Satterthwaite
approximation.

The uncertainty values in the current report are stated with a coverage factor of k=2 which represents a
confidence interval of approximately 95%.

Traceability:

Traceability of pressure, temperature, and gas composition measurements is maintained based on traditional
instrument calibration. Traceability of flowrate measurement is based on periodic engineering analysis of data
from three sources:
1) Control Charts
2) Turbine Substitution Test
3) Direct Turbine Meter Calibrations
