Ellipsometry is a valuable surface analysis tool with an unmatched sensitivity towards surface layer properties. In this presentation, an initiative is discussed to make ellipsometry also a metrological tool. This is usually seen as very difficult due to the model-based nature of the analysis process. By establishing standardisation and reference materials, ellipsometry can be made traceable and can also become a valuable part of the traceable thin film metrology landscape. This is important because this technique has much potential to determine complex material parameters much needed in the production of high-tech products.
Each engineering decision is based on a number of more or less accurate information. In assessment of existing structures, additional relevant information collected with on-site inspections facilitate better decisions. However, observed data basically represents the physical characteristic of interest with an uncertainty. This uncertainty is a measure of the inspection quality and can be quantified by expressing the measurement uncertainty. The internationally accepted rules for calculating measurement uncertainty are well established and can be applied straightforwardly in many practical cases. Nevertheless, the calculations require the occasionally time-consuming development of an individually suitable measurement model. This contribution attempts to emphasize proposals for modelling the non-destructive depth measurement of tendons in concrete using the ultrasonic echo technique. The proposed model can serve as guideline for the determination of the quality of the measured information in future comparable inspection scenarios.
Approaches to the development of a (GUM-) measurement model for the calculation of measurement uncertainties in the localization of tendons in concrete structures using the ultrasonic echo method including demonstration were presented.
