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.

Difference between single precision and double precision?
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
How do you spell meterphore?
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instrument, or it could be one-millionth of a metre!('Micrometres' are sometimes called 'microns', although this term is obsolete and not in accordance with SI, although this does serve to differentiate the two, and the pronuciation, of course, is different in most English dialects.}

Can accuracy depend on the precision of the instrument?

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.
