How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the Measured Value in the first input field. This is the value obtained from your measurement.
  2. Enter the Uncertainty in Measurement in the second input field. This is the degree of uncertainty associated with your measurement.
  3. Click the Calculate button to compute the absolute uncertainty.
  4. The result, Absolute Uncertainty, will be displayed in the result field.

Understanding Absolute Uncertainty

Absolute uncertainty is a measure of the uncertainty in a measurement. It is the uncertainty in the measurement itself, without any consideration of the measured value. For example, if you measure a length as 10.0 cm with an uncertainty of 0.1 cm, the absolute uncertainty is 0.1 cm.

Formula

The formula used to calculate absolute uncertainty is:

Absolute Uncertainty = Uncertainty in Measurement
