It is the degree to which the measured value of the quality characteristics agrees with the true value.

• · Precision

• · Accuracy

• · Testing

• · Standardization

It is called fundamental method and it is based on the measurement of the base quantities used to define a particular quantity.

• · Absolute Method

• · Comparison Method

• · Substitution Method

• · Coincidence Method

The value of the quantity to be measure is obtained directly without any calculation.

• · Direct Method

• · Indirect Method

• · Absolute Method

• · Comparison Method

Select the factors that affects the accuracy of measuring instruments:

• · Environmental conditions

• · Calibration

• · Inspector

• Standardization

It is the result of incapability of the system to response reliably to time-varying measurement.

• · Dynamic Error

• · Static Error

• · Relative Error

• · Absolute Error
