    "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...

    Measurement data with respect to gage accuracy

    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...
