Calculated from the process design by the user.Tolerance is a range of values that is acceptable or permitted by the user from the result of the process or product measurement. Tolerance Formula, Tolerance Interval and Tolerance Limits
This is where the value of error will be used.Īccuracy can be calculated using the formula: The more close the percentage value to ZERO (0%), the more accurate.Īccuracy is more on a qualitative description which means that it does not present an exact value.Īccuracy is equivalent to or a percent error (%error). This ‘closeness’ is usually represented in percentage value (%) and can be shown in the same unit by converting it into an error value ( %error).
Are you familiar with the differences and relationships between Accuracy, Error, Tolerance, and Uncertainty in calibration Results?
