THE ANALYSIS OF THE COMPATIBILITY OF APPROACHES TO ESTIMATION OF MEASUREMENT RESULTS
The problem of compatibility of the two approaches in metrology: classic, based on the errors theory, and modern, based on the uncertainty concept, is investigated. The analysis of their compliance with the probability theory and mathematical statistics is presented. The conclusion about the futility of their consolidation, as they have a different logic, concepts, principles, classification of sources of variability, is justified. Algorithms correct mutual conversion characteristics of uncertainties and errors are offered. The given results can be applied in work practice of test accredited laboratories which fulfill contracts with many companies of different industrial areas: main pipeline transport, civil and industrial building, machine-building sphere etc.
