UNCERTAINTY ESTIMATION OF A LIQUID FLOW STANDARD SYSTEM WITH SMALL FLOW RATES IN KRISS

Sejong Chun, Byung-Ro Yoon, Hae-Man Choi

Abstract

A liquid flow standard system has been used to calibrate liquid volume at a specific flow rate. However, liquid flow rate has not been considered as a calibration item due to lack of flow diversion mechanism. To enable the liquid flow rate calibration service, uncertainty due to flow diversion was estimated. Diversion timing error as well as temperature dependence on the flow rate was considered. Uncertainty contributions by the two factors were largest more than 40 % of the total uncertainty. On the while, the uncertainty contributions due to other factors were less than 5 %.
