Uncertainty of 50 ML Volumetric Flask Volume: Model Equation

The uncertainty of a 50 ml volumetric flask volume is considered, including the tolerance specified by the manufacturer, filling repeatability, and temperature difference from 20°C. The total volume is calculated as the sum of these three components, and uncertainty budgets are provided to quantify the contribution of each. The combined standard uncertainty of the flask volume is estimated to be 0.067 ml.

Uncertainty of 50 ml volumetric flask volume

Uncertainty of 50 ml volumetric flask volume

The following components of uncertainty are taken into account:


1. Tolerance of the volume as specified by the manufacturer (Type B)
2. Uncertainty due to the filling repeatability (Type A)
3. Uncertainty of the volume due to temperature difference from 20 °C

Model Equation:
{ Volume of the flask
The voulme is expressed as sum of three components. The V tol carries the value together
with calibration uncertainty.
The two other components carry only uncertainties, their values are set to zero.
}

V = Vtol + Vrepeat + Vtemp;

{ Uncertainty of the flask volume due to temperature difference from 20 °C }

Vtemp = Vtol * γ * ∆t;

List of Quantities:
Quantity Unit Definition
V ml Volume of the 50 ml flask
Vtol ml Value of the volume together with tolerance uncertainty contribution
Vrepeat ml Uncertainty contribution of the volume due to repeatability
Vtemp ml Uncertainty contribution of the volume due to temperature difference
from 20 °C
γ 1/°C Thermal expansion coefficient of water
∆t °C Difference of liquid temperature from 20 °C

Vtol: Type B rectangular distribution


Value: 50.00 ml
Halfwidth of Limits: 0.06 ml
Vrepeat: Type B rectangular distribution
Value: 0 ml
Halfwidth of Limits: 0.09 ml
The uncertainty of ±0.09 corresponds to the uncertainty of plus minus 3 drops. With 50 ml
volumetric flask this is a reasonable filling uncertainty estimate. With larger volumetric flasks
that have thicker necks, the filling uncertainty can be even larger. Also this depends very much
on the worker.

Uncertainty of 50 ml volumetric flask volume

γ: Constant
Value: 0.00021 1/°C
∆t: Type B rectangular distribution
Value: 0 °C
Halfwidth of Limits: 4 °C
In our lab it is reasonable to assume that the temperature does not differ from 20 °C by more
than 4 degrees. The users are advised to substitute this estimate by one that is obtained in their
lab.
