Determination of Measurement Uncertainty
To determine the measurement uncertainty of your balance you need to calibrate it in the actual place of use of the instrument. This will allow you to quantify how accurate your weighing results really are by providing you with a plus/minus range over your weighing results. For accurate measurements and quality you can trust, it’s highly important to identify the estimated range of your measurement uncertainty so that you weigh within your allowed measurement uncertainty limits. In the example below, the plus/minus range corresponds to the 0.0001 g in 4 g ± 0.0001 g.
