Basic course enhances
calibration services offer by providing foundation in uncertainty measurements
ORLANDO, Fla. (April 25, 2005) Sypris Test & Measurement, a subsidiary of
Sypris Solutions, Inc., today announced a helpful, hands-on course for lay people
and technicians. Total Expanded Measurement Uncertainty is primarily used to determine
the reliability of the calibration data and test instruments.
Unlike many courses
requiring previous knowledge of the topic or special software to be purchased, this
course starts at the beginning, providing a common sense approach utilizing Microsoft
Excel to understand and determine Total Expanded Measurement Uncertainties. This
course provides an understanding of Type A/B uncertainties, manufacturer specifications,
errors associated with the different measurements, confidence levels, degrees of
freedom, student T-Tables, and combining uncertainties.
"Our measurement
uncertainty training is one more offering designed to make Sypris Test & Measurement
the strategic, go-to source for all aspects of calibration," said Mark Dillard,
Director of Sales and Marketing, Sypris Test & Measurement Calibration Division. "This
includes calibration services, information, training, logistical support and other
calibration-related services for our customers."
"As the use of
measurement uncertainty to express accuracy and quality grows in American industry,"
said Mark Lapinskes, Technical Training Manager, Sypris Calibration, "more
and more engineers and technicians are being exposed to the process and its results.
Understanding both the measurement uncertainty process and the data it produces
is crucial for anyone working where measurement uncertainty can affect processes
and performance."
Sypris's interactive, eight-hour measurement uncertainty
training provides participants with a firm grasp of how to determine uncertainties
and set error budgets crucial steps to quality and accuracy. Taught by Mark Lapinskes,
an uncertainty expert with 23 years experience in metrology and metrology training
in private industry and the military, the course takes a practical approach to determining
the uncertainty of measurements in the calibration laboratory and on the job.
The basic course can be extended for engineers and technicians seeking to
be IAW ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation, those involved in the calibration of instruments
in compliance with ISO/IEC 17025 and TS16949, or for those requiring more in-depth
study or needing the ability to further analyze measurement setups or precision
systems. The course is based upon the guidelines set forth in NIST Technical Note
1297 and the GUM for the determination of measurement uncertainties.
The
course is taught at Sypris Test & Measurement, Orlando, Fla., and on location
by special arrangement.
Sypris Test and Measurement is a leading provider
of on-site and mobile calibration services, testing and evaluation services, state-of-the-art
