Application of the concept of traceability in determining the mechanical properties of metals under static tension on the example of GSO 11854–2021

The article is devoted to the special aspects of application of a certified reference material as a basis for comparison as one of the main tools for ensuring traceability and accuracy control of the measurement results of mechanical properties.

In the course of the research, an analysis of the approach of theoretical principles based on GOST 34100.3–2017 / ISO/IEC Guide 98–3:2008 and GOST R ISO 21748–2021 calculation algorithms for evaluating measurement uncertainty was carried out. The methodology of application of the reference material for the mechanical properties of steel grade 20 GSO 11854–2021 for evaluating the uncertainty of the static tensile test results was considered.

It was established that evaluating the uncertainty of the static tensile test results to ensure the traceability of the result leads to the need to account the systematic component of the laboratory when calculating the uncertainty of test results, either as a correction or as a contribution to the standard total uncertainty. Two accounting options for the systematic component of the laboratory were proposed.

The practical significance of the research is the possibility of applying the model-based approach of theoretical principles based on GOST 34100.3–2017 / ISO / IEC Guide 98–3:2008 and GOST R ISO 21748–2021 calculation algorithms (Equation 1) when evaluating uncertainty according to clause 7.6 of GOST ISO/IEC17025–2019 by accredited laboratories.
