Analytical and computer models of false failure and undetected failure (error functions) were developed with tolerance control of the parameters of the components of the measuring technique. A geometric interpretation of the error functions as two-dimensional surfaces is given, which depend on the tolerance on the controlled parameter and the measurement error. The developed models are applicable both to theoretical laws of distribution, and to arbitrary laws of distribution of the measured quantity and measurement error. The results can be used in the development of metrological support of measuring equipment, the verification of measuring instruments, the metrological examination of technical documentation and the certification of measurement methods.

A single program has been developed to ensure that the final result of the data processing of the measurement calibration protocol is obtained under normal conditions. The calibration result contains a calibration function or a correction function in the form of a continuous sedate series and a calibration chart based on typical additive error probabilities. Solved the problem of the statistical treatment of the calibration protocol measuring in normal conditions within a single program “MMI-calibration 3.0” that includes identification of the calibration function in a continuous power series of indications of a measuring instrument and chart calibration. An example of solving the problem of calibration of the thermometer by the working standard of the 3rd grade with the help of the “MMI-calibration 3.0” program.

This paper describes a promising method for non-contact vibration diagnostics based on the use of Doppler microwave sensors. In this case, active irradiation of the object with electromagnetic waves and the allocation of phase changes using two-channel quadrature processing of the received reflected signal are used. The modes of further fine analysis of the resulting signal using spectral or wavelet transformations depending on the nature of the active vibration are considered. The advantages of this non-contact and remote vibration analysis method for the study of complex dynamic objects are described. The convenience of the method for machine learning and use in intelligent systems of non-destructive continuous monitoring of the state of these objects by vibration is noted.

The influence of the gas presence in calorimeter on the result of measuring of thermal capacity is considered. The feature of the case is the unavoidable change of the gas mass during measuring procedure. The correct expression for the value of amendment is obtained, and uncertainty is evaluated for the calorimeter КА-С4 that serves as the standard of the unit of heat capacity.

An overview of high-frequency methods for measuring and controlling humidity of various materials is given. Humidity of cotton seeds is the main factor affecting their qualitative and quantitative indicators in the technological processes of storage, transportation, processing. Therefore, measuring the humidity of cotton seeds directly in the technological process is an urgent task. The mathematic model of the high frequency moisture meter for cotton grains has been constructed, in which the studying material as a complex dielectric installing in an electric field is represented. The displacement scheme which includes capacity between electrodes and also capacities and resistors corresponding to different polarization types has been presented. 4 variants of displacement schemes which describe approximately the dependence of angle tangency of dielectric losses on the electromagnet field frequency using in the measuring device have been considered. It has been shown that the simplest two elements RC -scheme connected parallel corresponds to the closest real description of measuring object in frequencies range from 10⁵ up to 10⁸ Hertz.
