What is a precision instrument?

Precision means accuracy. A precision instrument is a top quality one that is super-accurate. You can get an instrument that will just do the job, or you can spend extra money and get a precision instrument that will be perfect. Many measuring devices are precision instruments because they must be totally accurate.

Is a Strap Wrench precision instrument?

No, a strap wrench is NOT a precision instrument. It is a loose strap connected to a handle for leverage.


What does the precision of an instrument determine?

The precision of an instrument refers to its ability to provide consistent and repeatable results. A higher precision means that the measurements or readings taken with the instrument will vary less between multiple trials. This helps ensure accurate and reliable data.


Can accuracy depend on the precision of the instrument?

Yes, accuracy can depend on the precision of the instrument. The precision of an instrument determines the level of detail and resolution in measurements, while accuracy refers to how close the measured value is to the true value. Higher precision can improve the accuracy of measurements by reducing random errors, but it does not guarantee accuracy if there are systematic errors present in the instrument.


What is a Precision and non precision measuring instrument?

A precision measuring instrument provides accurate and consistent measurements, typically to a high degree of precision (e.g. micrometers or calipers). Non-precision measuring instruments provide general measurements but with less accuracy and consistency, such as tape measures or rulers.


How do you find the precision of measurements?

To check the precision of an instrument its apparent measurement must be compared to a known measurement. The difference between the measured quantity divided by the known quantity is expressed as a % precision of the instrument, or calibration. Most instruments when being calibrated are tested against multiple known quantities throughout the range of the instrument. Thus the precision of the instrument is determined throughout it's full range of measurement.


What do significant figures tell about an instrument?

They tell you what level of precision you can expect from measurements that are made using that instrument.

What factors determine the precision of an instrument?

Factors that determine the precision of an instrument include the resolution of the instrument (smallest readable increment), the stability of the instrument (ability to maintain consistent readings over time), the calibration of the instrument (accuracy of measurements against a known standard), and the repeatability of the measurements (consistency in obtaining the same result with multiple trials).
