    Assessing measurement system acceptability for process control and analysis using gage R&R

    No full text
    Plan BGage R&R, which stands for gage repeatability and reproducibility, is a statistical tool that is applied to measure the amount of variation in the measurement system which arises from the people taking the measurement and the measurement device. The purpose of conducting the GR&R is to quantify measurement error and to reduce the measurement system variation if it is excessive. In a typical gage R&R study, several operators each measure a selected set of items more than once. This study is pursued in a large-scale manufacturing plant in western Wisconsin in order to evaluate the capability of a set of new measurement equipment that is just purchased by the company. Some potential problems related to the measurement system might be exposed after this study and recommendations would be made in order to achieve a successful quality improvemen

    Frances Dana Gage suffrage poem

    No full text
    Poem written by Frances Dana Gage and published in the November 3, 1855, issue of Type of the Times, a Cincinnati news publication in support of the spelling reform movement. The poem, written in support of suffrage, is noted to have been read at a recent Woman's Rights Convention, held October 17–18, 1855, at Cincinnati's Smith & Nixon's Hall. Speakers and leaders included Martha Coffin Wright, Antoinette Brown, Ernestine Rose, Josephine Sophia White Griffing, Lucy Stone and Gage. Frances Dana Barker Gage (1808-1884), of McConnelsville, Ohio, was an influential participant in the abolitionist, temperance and women's rights movements in Ohio in the years before the American Civil War. In spite of her work throughout the 1840s and 1850s, Gage did not see women gain significant ground in the years prior to the Civil War. After the war, when it became evident that women would not gain rights from the Fourteenth or Fifteenth Amendments, women began to establish a number of national organizations to seek the right to vote

    Comparison of radar-derived precipitation and rain gage precipitation in northeastern Colorado

    No full text
    May 1995.Also issued as Peter Clark Clement's thesis (M.S.) -- Colorado State University, 1995.Accurate precipitation measurement is desired over large areal extents in fine temporal and spatial resolution for a myriad of scientific disciplines and practical applications. Hydrological sciences and federal and local government agencies would benefit from improved precipitation measurements. The question is can radars satisfy this desire for better precipitation measurements. The WSR-88D radar network will provide nearly complete radar coverage of the contiguous United States and has the ability to operationally measure large areal extents in fine temporal and spatial resolutions. Precipitation products derived from the WSR-88D networks are becoming readily more accessible and steadily gaining in popularity and use, often without any reference to accuracy. This study is a comparison of precipitation from the CSU-CHILL multiparameter research radar, National Weather Service's WSR-88D located outside Denver, CO (KFTG), and networks of tipping bucket gages. Comparisons are made to reveal spatial coverage of precipitation, time distribution of precipitation, and quantify amounts of precipitation derived from the two radars and gage networks from three convective precipitation events in northeastern Colorado. This study finds the multiparameter variable, specific differential phase derived precipitation (R(KDP)) compared well with gage precipitation for rainfall accumulations greater than 1 cm. On 20 June 1994 for 12 gages with four-hour accumulated precipitation greater than 1 cm, the R(KDP) to gage precipitation ratio was 0.89. On 21 June 1994 for 3 gages with one-hour accumulated precipitation greater than 1 cm, the R(KDP) to gage ratio was 1.37. For precipitation accumulations less than 1 cm, R(KDP) greatly overestimated gage precipitation which is consistent with previous findings. On 20 June at one gage site (FOR) with a known 30- minute period of mixed phase precipitation, R(KDP) showed an eight percent overestimate of gage precipitation. This result demonstrates R(KDP)' s ability to accurately measure rainfall in mixed phase precipitation. The time distribution of precipitation rates for the radar and gage are in reasonable agreement. In most cases, the radar-derived precipitation captures the temporal pattern of the gage's precipitation event well. However, the amplitude of the precipitation amounts differed appreciably. Of the three reflectivity cut offs used to minimize excessive rain rates, the 53 dBZ reflectivity cut off performed the best in comparison to the gage's peak precipitation. This result agrees with Denver WSR-88D's use of 53 dBZ as their reflectivity cut off for summer convective precipitation in northeastern Colorado. The precipitation derived by the actual WSR-88D precipitation algorithm provided by the WSR-88D Operational Support Facility, R(OSF), consistently overestimated the gage precipitation for two days of convective storms in Colorado. On 21 June 1994 for 64 gages with one-hour accumulated precipitation, the R(OSF) to gage precipitation ratio was 2.13. On 10 August 1994 for 127 gages with two-hour accumulated precipitation, the R(OSF) to gage ratio was 1.80. Over both days, the R(OSF) provided a somewhat smaller overestimate of gage 111 precipitation than this study's elementary use of same level II data and Z-R relationship. This result indicates the details of data processing are extremely important

    High temperature strain measurement with a resistance strain gage

    No full text
    A PdCr based electrical resistance strain gage was demonstrated in the laboratory to be a viable sensor candidate for static strain measurement at high temperatures. However, difficulties were encountered while transferring the sensor to field applications. This paper is therefore prepared for recognition and resolution of the problems likely to be encountered with PdCr strain gages in field applications. Errors caused by the measurement system, installation technique and lead wire attachment are discussed. The limitations and some considerations related to the temperature compensation technique used for this gage are also addressed
