Test instruments such as oscilloscopes and DMMs (digital multimeters) often let you get the measurement results you need with just the press of a button. But the number on a meter's display or the ...

Temperature is by far the most commonly measured physical parameter. With so many new ideas for connected devices in the works for consumer and industrial applications, you often need high-accuracy ...

A program for calibration and routine testing of weighing instruments ensures accurate results. A measurement of any kind is affected by the errors and uncertainties that exist in that measurement ...

The first is associated with the initial accuracy (initial error), which indicates the variation in output voltage as measured in production test at a defined temperature of 25 ° C. Added to that are ...

Performing a measurement uncertainty calculation is often seen as problematic. One of the barriers to be overcome in the wider application of measurement uncertainty (MU) to reportable values is the ...

In order to measure the mechanical properties of materials in compression, tension, bending or torsion, a universal testing machine is utilized. This article outlines the two different types ...
