About this title

Synopsis

From reviews of the first edition:"Extremely useful to metrologissts and to anyone interested in measurement errors"Measurement Science and Technology"I suggest that every technical library should own a copy of Measurement Errors. Serious experimentalists whose interests are broad will surely want to examine the book with the intent of buying it"Applied Mechanics ReviewA practical reference on theory and methods of estimating measurement errors and uncertainty for scientists and engineers in industry and experimental research. Building from the fundamentals of measurement theory, the book offers a wealth of practial recommendations and procedures. It differs from the majority of books in that it balances coverage of probabilistic methods with detailed information on the characterization, calibration, standardization and limitations of mesuring instruments, with specific examples from both electrical and mechanical systems, making the book useful to both the theorist and experimentalist In addition to a general updating to include current research, new material in this edition includes increased coverage of indirect measurements, with a new, simpler,more efficient method for this class of measurements. Rabinovich was head of the Laboratory of Theoretical Metrology at the All-Union State Research Institute of Metrology in the former Soviet Union. His theory of galvanometrical self-balancing instruments led to the creation of numerous new measuring devices.

Semyon G. Rabinovich was head of the Laboratory of Theoretical Metrology at the All-Union State Research Institute of Metrology in the former Soviet Union. Before he worked in industry, he worked in metrology where his theory of galvanometrical self-balancing instruments led to the creation of numerous new measuring devices.
