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.
Precision is a noun.
precision is a writers attention to accuracy in word choice. (apex)
"Approximate" can be either an adjective or a verb: "9.3 is only an approximate value" (adjective); "If you can not find a precision instrument, approximate the value" (verb).
Single Precision, called "float" in the 'C' language family, and "real" or "real*4" in Fortan. This is a binary format that occupies 32 bits (4 bytes) and its significand has a precision of 24 bits (about 7 decimal digits). Double Precision called "double" in the C language family, and "double precision" or "real*8" in Fortran. This is a binary format that occupies 64 bits (8 bytes) and its significand has a precision of 53 bits (about 16 decimal digits). Regards, Prabhat Mishra
Metre in British and Commonwealth English, meter in US.CommentIn British English, 'metre' is the spelling for the SI Base Unit for length. 'Meter', on the other hand, is the spelling for a measuring instrument, such as a 'voltmeter'.Coincidentally, this avoids confusion with terms, such as 'micrometer'. In British English, it is a precision measuring instrument. In American English, it could be a precision measuring instrument, or it could be one-millionth of a metre!('Micrometres' are sometimes called 'microns', although this term is obsolete and not in accordance with SI, although this does serve to differentiate the two, and the pronuciation, of course, is different in most English dialects.}
precision instrument: caliper, micrometer non-precision measuring instrument: your hand, a piece of string

No, a strap wrench is NOT a precision instrument. It is a loose strap connected to a handle for leverage.
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.
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.
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.
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.
By calibration in comparison to a standard one.
They tell you what level of precision you can expect from measurements that are made using that instrument.
Quartz is used in timepieces such as watches or clocks.
It is possible that the most recently invented instrument is the Precision Bass Guitar. This type of guitar was invented in 1951.
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).
