Abstract

The Observation type rain gauge is a manual type rain gauge that requires a measuring cup to measure rainfall in millimeters (mm) of rain. Precise measurement requires calibration of the measuring cup so that the scale reading on the measuring cup can be trusted. Calibration of measuring cups using the mass method related to volume can use an analytical balance. Technological developments can make manual analytical balance calibration automatic by utilizing microcontrollers and pumps in filling the volume. The design of the analytical balance gets results where the average correction value for the 50 ml set point is 0.001ml, the 100 ml set point is -0.760 ml, the 150 ml set point is -0.024 ml, the 200 ml set point is -0.739 ml, and the 250 ml set point is 0.628 ml. The uncertainty value for all set points is ±0.58 ml. The correction value at each set point is different, this is influenced by the value of the measuring cup meniscus, water temperature, and Load Cell sensor. The data generated by the tool can be downloaded through the Arduino IDE application and produced files in Excel.

Abstract

The Regional Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) plays a crucial role in providing accurate and reliable services related to meteorology, climatology, and geophysics. Temperature observation is one of the important tasks carried out by the BMKG as it is essential for weather and climate forecasting, as well as for predicting natural disasters. To ensure the accuracy of the data, the thermometers used for temperature observation must be in good working condition and calibrated regularly. According to the Republic of Indonesia Law No. 31, Article 48, Year 2009 on Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics (MKG), all observation equipment must be in good working condition and calibrated regularly. Calibration is a crucial step in ensuring the accuracy and operational fitness of the observation equipment. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) / International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 17025:2017 also emphasizes the importance of ensuring the quality and accuracy of all measurement instruments. The Calibration Laboratory at the BMKG Regional Office I in Medan is accredited with ISO/IEC 17025:2017 by the National Accreditation Committee (KAN). However, the calibration process can be time-consuming and requires constant monitoring to achieve stable data. During temperature and humidity calibration, the calibration laboratory's environment must be conditioned to maintain the performance of sensitive instruments that are susceptible to environmental changes. This study aims to design an automated temperature calibration monitoring system using the Internet of Things (IoT) to improve the efficiency of the calibration process and achieve maximum calibration results at the BMKG Regional Office I in Medan. The system will enable the calibration personnel to monitor the calibration process remotely and receive real-time data, allowing for more effective analysis and decision-making.

Abstract

Many factors trigger the uncertainty of rainfall measurement. Several factors can be related to the instruments, weather conditions, and acquisition methods. The degree of uncertainty could be obtained through the calibration process. In principle, rain gauges are calibrated based on the standard process ruled by ISO/IEC 17025 using the law of propagation of uncertainty (LPU). However, LPU requires complex and complicated mathematical calculations. An alternative approach is needed to evaluate measurement uncertainty besides the LPU method. This research used the Monte Carlo method to determine the uncertainty during the rainfall measurement. This method involves repeated random simulations by providing probability distribution on the input and output of rainfall measurement. The results showed that the Monte Carlo method can accurately determine the uncertainty of rainfall measurement. In addition, the uncertainty analysis also showed that instrument inaccuracy is the most significant factor that causes the uncertainty of rainfall measurement.

Abstract

Microbath Fluke Type 7102 is used for thermometer calibration. In the calibration process, Microbath uses liquid media as heat conductor. Liquid media in Microbath during the calibration process there is a value of uniformity and temperature stability. The value of temperature uniformity and stability is an influential component in determining the value of measurement uncertainty (U95). The smaller the U95 value, the better the calibration results. This is a factor in this study to analyse the uniformity and temperature stability of liquid types of Water, Methanol and Glycol. The uniformity test method is carried out using 5 (five) point measurements, where the reference point is in the middle. The stability test method uses the measurement of one reference point. Uniformity and stability values are connected to determine the uncertainty of measurement value using the GUM (Guide to the expression of Uncertainty in Measurement) method. The analysis showed that Methanol is more homogeneous than Glycol and Water, with values of 0.0855 ºC < 0.0942 ºC < 0.1030 ºC. Water is more stable than Methanol and Glycol, with values of 0.0021 ºC < 0.0027 ºC < 0.0028 ºC. The time to stabilise Methanol is better than Water and Glycol. Methanol can be stabilised with ± 35 - 40 minutes, Water needs ± 38 - 40 minutes and Glycol needs ± 48 - 50 minutes. The relationship between uniformity and temperature stability is that the smaller the uniformity and stability values, the smaller the U95 of a calibration result. The U95 value of Methanol 0.11 ºC, Glycol 0.12 ºC and Water is 0.13 ºC.
