I've read through this long and very informative thread, yet I do not find a formalized and agreed to definition of "measurement uncertainty". It would seem to have two applications:
1) used for performing calibration on measurement devices - a metrology environment
2) I've heard the accuracy of a measurment instrument used in a production environment also refered to as measurment uncertainty.
It seems as though in either case measurment uncertainty would be composed of several components. The apparent use of measurement accuracy as a synonym for measurement uncertainty further clouds the issue
Hoepfully someone can set me straight.
I have searched and read several on line sources, I have yet to find one.
Thanks for your assistance
