Good morning everyone,
The company I work for has moved to in-House calibration for the majority of its assets. We're a manufacturing company and I am using GAGEtrak software to manage my workload. I have to report the uncertainty on my certificates, but I am having difficulties understanding if what I am doing is correct. When I use a Reference Standard on a certain calibration, this standard is referenced on the individual test point and its associated uncertainty is then added with the rest of the standards used during calibration and a value is given for Uncertainty on the report. However, certain standards do not have a statement of uncertainty on their calibration certificate (outsourced calibration) and what I have been doing is looking at the measurements reported on the certs and getting an average for the different readings or just identifying the value difference from the nominal and reporting this as the uncertainty of the reference standard. I think that this is incorrect. There are many things I'm still having a difficult time grasping my head around and I wanted to reach out to ask if there was any good resources for me to read or any advice that could be given so that I can fully understand what I am supposed to be doing.
Unfortunately for me, my field of work was entirely different from the position I am in now and despite efforts to educate myself I have been unsuccessful in fully understanding how to report uncertainties in my calibrations. Any help is appreciated.
