Explain repeatability and reproducibility of instruments

1 Answer

Answer :

Repeatability: closeness of agreement among a no. of consecutive measurement of output for the same value of input under the same operating conditions for fullrange traverse.

Reproducibility: closeness of agreement among a no .of repeated measurements of output for the same value of input under the same operating conditions over a period of time.
