Worked Example
Verified calculation
Given:
- Current calibration interval = 365
- Observed average drift per interval = 0.008
- Maximum permissible drift over interval = 0.05
- Ratio of current measurement uncertainty to maximum permitted uncertainty = 0.75
Expected Result:
- Adjusted calibration interval = 244.6668
Engineering Interpretation:
Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: Adjusted calibration interval = 244.6668 d.
The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from deterministically validated test cases.
Formula / Method
adjusted calibration interval = current calibration interval * pow(1 - (observed average drift per interval / maximum permissible drift over interval), 2) * (1 + (ratio of current measurement uncertainty to maximum permitted uncertainty - 1) * 0.2)Formula family: formula_metrology_calibration_interval_adjustment_calculator_iso_17025_annex_a
