Instrumental Uncertainty of Conductance Transducers for Maritime Reduced-Scale Models
Source abstract
Abstract
This paper aims to determine the instrumental measurement uncertainty of conductance transducers for maritime reduced-scale models developed in hydraulic experimental facilities. These transducers are used for the measurements of wave levels and their variations under a dynamic regime (being the measurement principle and method briefly described in the paper). Several metrological characterization methods are also presented, aiming to identify and quantify measurement uncertainty components, namely electrical stability, linearity, reversibility, repeatability, and thermal influence. The obtained results were applied in the evaluation of the transducer instrumental measurement uncertainty.
