The temperature corresponding to Rmust be stated

32、.11.1.3 Calculate the standard deviation s of Ritself:s 5 =scal2/ n 1 sR2/ n (2)where n is the number (8) of R measurements or calibrationdata points.11.1.4 The uncertainty U in the measurement Rmay beexpressed in several ways, depending on the needs of the user.The purpose of the (expanded) uncerta

33、inty U is to bracket thecertified-mean Rtrueby R6 U at specified confidence. Thedegree of confidence in the minimization of bias of the specificSRM used for calibration relative to the certified-mean Rtruedepends on the application. Related material presented in(11.1.4) may be found in NMAM.511.1.4.

34、1 If U, at high (95 %) confidence in the specific CRMused for calibration, is to provide intervals bracketing Rtrueatgreater than given confidence (also 95 %) in the measurementR, then U may be taken to equal:U 5 1.960 uCRM1 ty, 0.95 s (3)where uCRMis the ratio of the uncertainty of the CRMcalibrati

35、on to the coverage factor, both values stated on theCRM certificate. y is the number of degrees of freedom in s2and ty,0.95is the student-t 95 %-quantile (giving single-sided95 % confidence limits). Here, y =23 (n 1)=14 if theanalyzer output is closely proportional to its input, resulting int14,0.95

36、= 1.761. Eq 3 holds when the CRM-|bias| confidencelimit 1.960 uCRMis comparable or larger than s/ty,0.95.

37、nd the above expressions areavailable as Research Report D22XXXX for this guide.11.1.4.2 If only mean confidence in the CRM is required,then U may be approximated simply as:U 5 2=uCRM21 s2(5)NOTE 2The above expressions assume that the calibrations of Section9 and measurements of 10.1 are made within

38、 a time interval such thatinstrumental drift is not significant. This requires that the permeationdevices to be calibrated should be equilibrated at the temperature ofmeasurement before insertion into the system. If this is not the case,uncertainty due to drift must be estimated and included because

39、 of thelarge dependence of the permeation rates on the temperature. TheT-uncertainty component uR,T(the standard deviation) due to drift wouldthen be estimated, using the mean temperature coefficient DR / DT ofstandard and reference tube. The standard tubes temperature coefficientmay be listed in th

40、e CRM certificate, whereas the candidate tubescoefficient would be either measured or a conservative value of 10 % ofthe permeation rate in accordance with Practice D 3609 (C), adopted.Then, uR,Tis estimated by:uR,T5 ?DR / DT? sT(6)where sT(C) is an estimate of the temperature-drift standard devia-t

41、ion. If uR,Tis of the order of scal/ =norsR/ =n , then uR,Twould bepooled into s, adjusting the student-t quantile with an effective number ofdegrees of freedom, accordingly (as described in ISO GUM).NOTE 3The uncertainty as expressed in Eq 5 is in the form consideredin ISO GUM with coverage factor

42、equal to 2, whereas strongly controllingthe bias inherent in any specific calibration standard results in the slightlydifferent form of Eq 4.11.2 Procedure B:11.2.1 Plot successive masses versus the correspondingtimes. Fit a straight line to the points by the method of leastsquares. The slope is the

43、 desired rate, R. Calculate the standarddeviation, s, of the slope.11.2.2 Express uncertainty by the following equation:U 5 2=s21 0.1/C st!2(7)11.2.3 The mean permeation rate, RCRMmeasured for theCRM permeation tube must agree with the certified value inaccordance with the users performance standard
