ASTM Weathering and Durability Committee is Developing Uncertainty Evaluation Standard
W. CONSHOHOCKEN, PA — A proposed new ASTM International standard will improve the accuracy and usefulness of radiometry-related uncertainty estimates in a wide range of fast-developing solar renewable energy applications, such as system performance and acceptance testing, resource assessment and solar energy system design engineering.
The proposed standard, ASTM WK 36479, Practice for Uncertainty Evaluation of Calibration and Measurements with Pyranometers and Pyrheliometers, is being developed by Subcommittee G03.09 on Radiometry, part of ASTM International Committee G03 on Weathering and Durability.
