Uncertinty Anlysis Compte the ncertinty in pressre dierence by root-sm-sqring the two sorces o ncertinty in pressre: instrment ccrcy nd redbility. The instrment ccrcy is qoted s 0.5% o the ll-scle reding. The redbility is p to yor decision, typiclly / or /4 o scle division on n nlog gge. Note tht the ncertinty will be dierent or the two gges (why?) Compte the corresponding ncertinty in velocity (U v ) or this ncertinty in pressre dierence. This will involve tking prtil derivtive to get the sensitivity coeicient (the ctor tht determines how mch the velocity chnges de to chnge in pressre.)
