Resumo:
This master s research aims to evaluate the metrological reliability of electrolytic tilt sensors (electrolevels) used to determine angular deviations of components of civil engineering structures. The motivation for the work arises from the perception that users of electronic devices do not necessarily consider the importance of the calibration process and the uncertainties that are associated to it in the reliability of their measurements. The methodology used consisted in evaluating, with the metrological rigor, a process of calibration of sets of eletronics mounted on a rigid bar, but pivoted at one of its ends thus allowing angular displacements. The result of the data analyzes of four typical calibrations of a set of 36 electrolevels, grouped in four batches of nine sensors each, allowed to show that the expression of the uncertainties associated with the measurement constitutes an essential fundament to assure the metrological reliability of the electrolevels, therefore validating a method of disposal of electrolevels outside the permissible tolerance for a given engineering application. Among the conclusions of the study, it was possible to qualify the statistical treatment of the levels of uncertainty as a sufficiently robust strategy to validate the electrolevel as a reliable instrument for angle measurement with a level of confidence appropriate to its application in civil engineering.
