Published

Author(s)

Abstract

We present a method for computing the combined standard uncertainty for reference values used in the Charpy machine verification program administered by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The technique is compliant with the ISO GUM and models the between-machine bias using a Type B distribution. We demonstrate the method using actual data from the Charpy machine verification program.
