"Couldn't an accuracy of .001" equal +/-.0005"?"
It could, but my original post meant to say ±.001". Sorry for the confusion.
edpaq - I wasn't implying that the accuracy reflected the total measurement uncertainty. I was just clarifying that the gage accuracy is equal to the gage uncertainty...
Yeah, we do have a pretty good system here. We tend to have very few findings, and they're usually minor.
So the gage's accuracy is the same thing as the gage's uncertainty? If so, then I don't believe the inspector fully understands the concept of uncertainty in measurement (which I have to...
I have a question regarding how to record inspection data from a measurement device. Recently, we had an ISO inspector here who stated that we're recording too many decimal places because it's more than the gage's accuracy. For example, Mitutoyo calipers have an accuracy of .001 in, but a...
