Applied Measurement Uncertainty for Calibration and Testing Laboratories

This course is available in two formats: public training for individuals and private group training. During this course, the participant will be introduced to several tools and techniques that can be applied in the calibration laboratory environment to efficiently and effectively create measurement uncertainty budgets that comply with ISO/IEC 17025 requirements. The tools presented are generic and can be applied in a variety of calibration and testing laboratories.

Price: $995.00
