duncan61 ★★★★★ (2021)	I am with Tmiddles on this point.My best friend was an engineer that made steering box parts and shafts and had a dial gauge set of vernier calipers for extreme tolerances where all I need them for as a plumber is reloading centre fire cases and measuring the OAL case length to SAAMI specs so I only have a $30 manual set that with my glasses on I can read to .1 mm.My mates set would measure to a thou.Thats my take on Tolerance correct me if I am wrong but I have followed this thread and it has been indicated there is no such thing as tolerance when measuring,I am going to reread the whole thread again when I remove my lips from the bottom of the Tmiddles.A bit disgusting IBDM and you wrote it 3 times

Accuracy is determined in evaluating the tool by testing it and not the number of decimal places displayed. The reason this is fundamental to any topic here is everything discussed involves what we "know" about values, like temperatue, which are measured as well as determinations made beyond that. To "know" the value of something which is measured is to have a confidence level on the accuracy, which is the margin of error, of that measurement. Usually that means that there is at least a 95% probability that the measurement is within the the tools "accuracy" range of the true value. So when someone says "it cannot be known" without explaining themselves you know they are full of it just as surely as claiming something is known exactly. This is true of both simple measurements and more complex conclusions (like the temp a million years ago).

But you are the one intentionally conflating "accuracy," "tolerance" and "margin of error." I'm still waiting for your explanation. If "accuracy" and "tolerance" are exactly the same thing, then why do any two calipers of the same manufacturer, make and model have distinctly different accuracies but identical tolerances?

All measurement devices have a precision, an accuracy, and a tolerance. None of it has anything to do with margin of error, a term in statistical mathematics. Precision is a relative term, denoting the scale the instrument is capable of using and the number of marks on the scale. Accuracy is the scale markings themselves, and how precisely they are marked. It also includes the zero reference point and how it is determined. Tolerance is the ability of the instrument to repeat a measurement of the same thing, including the zero reference point. Differences can arise in a vernier caliper due to screw slop, dial friction, quality of the faces, cleanliness and maintenance of the instrument, and of course, technique in using it. They are a nice quick instrument for measuring distances, and it is certainly good enough for your reloading. They can be used as a quick measurement of shafts and gears, but precise work really requires a micrometer, an instrument with higher precision and accuracy, and a lower tolerance. For example, for measuring the bearing points on an aircraft engine crankshaft, a micrometer must be used. A vernier caliper isn't good enough. Happy reloading!

They can't do much anything else (except measure their own internal condition). Light is not temperature. It may arise from harmonic or 'cold' emission (such as LEDs, bioluminescent critters, reflections, transmissions (light through transparent or partially transparent objects), etc. Light that is emitted as a result of thermal energy is only part of the light seen from Earth's surface. The surface is also reflective, and the Earth is also semi-transparent to some frequencies. All frequencies of light are included in the Stefan-Boltzmann law (light emitted by thermal energy). Measuring only some of these frequencies is quite meaningless. Earth emits a wide range of frequencies from thermal energy, as well as from other sources. The emissivity of Earth is unknown. The temperature of Earth is unknown. One must accurately know the temperature of the emitting surface to be able to calculate the emissivity of that surface. So a satellite is not capable of producing an absolute temperature measurement of anything on Earth. It can, however, produce pretty good relative temperature maps. This allows us, for example, to locate the Gulf Stream using a satellite as it passes over. Such a measurement, of course, is just a snapshot. Satellites are also capable of measuring the ice extent of polar ice. It cannot measure the thickness of that ice, but it can measure how far away from that pole the ice forms in the winter. These records are known as the winter ice extent, and are taken each winter at the maximum extent for each pole. According to these records, polar ice at both poles has been increasing the last few years. In 2014, the Antarctic ice extent was the largest ever recorded. It currently is smaller than that now, but it is increasing again somewhat. Again, these are snapshots. There is no satellite measuring the amount of ice in glaciers and ice fields, or the amount of snow anywhere. Satellites can measure surface coverage, but they cannot measure thickness of any ice, and the amount of snow and ice on Earth constantly changes. Satellites are pretty good and giving us our own locations. GPS is good to +-30ft in any XY direction, and to within +- 100ft of altitude (Z information), as long as the point being referenced is here on the surface of the Earth (as opposed to the opposite point out in space). Thus, GPS can be used by hikers, hunters, boaters, aircraft, buses, cars, and all manner of needs for locating yourself on Earth to within 30 ft. Even surveyors use it these days to find the Point of Beginning location or to help locate a buried monument to use as a Point of Origin. It's why a professional survey is admissible in a court of law. Satellites can also be used to relay surface signals to somewhere else. One constellation that went up in the last few years monitors a new emergency frequency. This equipment is digital in nature and also makes use of GPS to accurately the point on Earth where the emergency is occurring. This is required equipment on aircraft now. Sure beats the old system of using radio direction finding equipment (the old 121.5Mhz system)! One button push or a good thunk on the equipment (as in a crash) will broadcast the location and who it is to waiting satellites, which relay that to listening authorities on the ground. This new equipment is becoming available for hikers and hunters as well. It's a bit pricey yet, but it can save your life. Another use of them of course is for telecom systems. Starlink for automotive use is one such system, as well as many phone and internet communications that run over satellite repeaters. They are capable of a lot, but they are not magick. They can only see light. They cannot measure an absolute temperature. The Parrot Killer Debunked in my sig. - tmiddles Google keeps track of paranoid talk and i'm not on their list.

tmiddles★★★★★ (3979)	INTeze says: Into the Night wrote: Precision is a relative term, denoting the scale the instrument is capable of using and the number of marks on the scale. But the correct answer is:linkPrecision: The extent to which an instrument gives constant results when making repeat measurements on the same unit. So Precision has nothing at all to do with the number of markings on the scale. The term for that is resolution. INTeze says: Into the Night wrote: Accuracy is the scale markings themselves, and how precisely they are marked. But the correct answer is:linkAccuracy: The closeness of the agreement between the result of a measurement and its reference value. Otherwise known as the "error". Not getting it right is an error and Accuracy represents just how wrong it's likely to be and yes, it is the margin of error usually represented at the 95% confidence level. So if a caliper stated it's accuracy at +/-0.03mm you'd be within .03mm 95% of the time you took a measurement (though it's a minimum so probably better than that). INTeze says: Into the Night wrote: Tolerance is the ability of the instrument to repeat a measurement of the same thing, But the correct answer is:linkTolerance Limits: These are measurement specifications that bound the acceptance region for a measured characteristic. So here ITN has swapped Tolerance for Precision (very weird) and that is dead wrong either way. Tolerance is the margin of error. Keep in mind we can choose to have an 80% confidence margin, 95%, 99.7%, it's up to the measurer. But the instrument specs are based on 95%. Different projects demand different levels of confidence. To tie it all together: Confidence Level: The probability that a measured value will be inside of the tolerance limits. The confidence level for standards is usually set at 95%. Anyone reading this can reference ITN's answers with anything online and find he is completely wrong. BUT HERE IS THE REAL PROOF: Neither ITN or IBD will ever describe HOW what they call "Tolerance" is determined by the manufacturer of a measuring device. Why? Because it's by testing and determining a margin of error and a confidence level. Note that it's NOT called tolerance but accuracy but that's a minor point as they describe the same thing.

And as predicted: tmiddles wrote: Neither ITN or IBD will ever describe HOW what they call "Tolerance" is determined by the manufacturer of a measuring device. No answer. So GFM when a instrument, caliper, thermomenter, or any other, shows it's accuracy as +/- ___. Where do you suppose that number comes from? I can tell you it's from the manufacturer testing the tool and developing it's 95% confidence interval. Example: Statistical Tolerance Limits So why this fight to pretend that there is no confidence level in determining a value through measurement? Because if there is, and there is, you cannot say something dead wrong like: it is not possible to measure the temperature of Denver. Because it's totally possible to some margin of error, at some confidence level. Then you'd have to explain why you disagree with NASA or whoever has presented their answer to that. Now IBD has actually laid that our correctly recently, saying "to a useful margin of error", but ITN always stated that you cannot know period. What it means to "know" is critical to every topic here. You almost never know 100% but you almost always have some idea short of that. 95% and 99% being used most.

I have never engineered a tolerance into a system or device. Have you? It's not calibration as you are describing. Tolerance is an engineering requirement and is part of the design. Tolerance is created, and reflected, in the start-to-finish manufacturing of the system/device, from the initial generation of requirements, through the design and engineering all the way through to when the component parts are manufactured and assembled. That is what determines the tolerance, everything in the manufacturing process. This is why every item thus manufactured and assembled has the exact same tolerance ... because they are all results of the exact same process. The accuracy of each one so built will have a different specific accuracy but they will all have the same tolerance. tgoebbles wrote: So why this fight to pretend that there is no confidence level in determining a value through measurement? So why this fight to pretend that all the people measuring things doubt the measurments they are reading and/or also jot down their "confidence levels" in each measurement? That whole notion is absurd. Nobody does that. This is why tgoebbles can't find a valid dataset used for any practical or industrial purpose that contains as part of the data "confidence levels." There is no such thing as a "confidence level" associated with any measurement. I ws talking with my friend (who is a general contractor) while he was taking some measurements with a tape measure. He was putting in some cabinets and an island. He was pretty quick with each measurement and he jotted down each measurement on some rough sketches he had made. tgoebbles, I have to tell you that he wrote down absolutely no "confidence levels" and no probabilities ... yet you absurdly insist that he did.

If scientists are accurate with how they determine half lives then that allows for IMO a good understand of what happened in the past and when. And with climate science, it might actually be more about observing a trend.

Nobi ☆☆☆☆☆ (29)	As far as i know, the +- of the measuring equipment indicates the accuracy. Let's say the accuracy of a digital caliper is +-0.02 mm. You measure the height of your phone, and your caliper reads 10.82 mm. That means that your real measurement can lie anywhere between 10.80-10.84 mm. The only time when confidence level comes into the picture, that i know, is when you want to determine the measurement uncertainty. U = k.u U = expanded uncertainty k = coverage factor. k= 1 -> confidence level 68%, k=2 -> confidence level 95%; k=3 -> confidence level 99.7% u= standard uncertainty(ies) e.g. u equipment, u temperature, u object, u person u^2 = u equipment^2 + u temp^2 + u object^2.... Once you calculated U, you can report your measurement e.g. 10.80 mm +- U mm, k=2 My knowledge about this is quite rusty though, so please correct if necessary.

You measure the height of your phone, and your caliper reads 10.82 mm. That means that your real measurement can lie anywhere between 10.80-10.84 mm. The only time when confidence level comes into the picture, that i know, is when you want to determine the measurement uncertainty. U = k.u U = expanded uncertainty k = coverage factor. k= 1 -> confidence level 68%, k=2 -> confidence level 95%; k=3 -> confidence level 99.7% u= standard uncertainty(ies) e.g. u equipment, u temperature, u object, u person u^2 = u equipment^2 + u temp^2 + u object^2.... Once you calculated U, you can report your measurement e.g. 10.80 mm +- U mm, k=2 My knowledge about this is quite rusty though, so please correct if necessary. You're speaking of "tolerance" here, not "accuracy". ITN did a great job of explaining the differences between the terminology here: Into the Night wrote: You are discussing precision and accuracy, not tolerance. All measurement devices have a precision, an accuracy, and a tolerance. None of it has anything to do with margin of error, a term in statistical mathematics. Precision is a relative term, denoting the scale the instrument is capable of using and the number of marks on the scale. Accuracy is the scale markings themselves, and how precisely they are marked. It also includes the zero reference point and how it is determined. Tolerance is the ability of the instrument to repeat a measurement of the same thing, including the zero reference point. Differences can arise in a vernier caliper due to screw slop, dial friction, quality of the faces, cleanliness and maintenance of the instrument, and of course, technique in using it.

Nobi ☆☆☆☆☆ (29)	what i understand about accuracy is how far your measurement differs from a true value. Lets say the true value of a gauge block is 10.02 mm. I take caliper 1 and it reads 10.03 mm then i take caliper 2 and it reads 10.07 mm. I can then say caliper 1 is more accurate than caliper 2. I guess the "accuracy" is just the term the manufacturer uses for +- of the measuring equipments? The tolerance i know is when a nominal value is given with its upper and lower limit. The upper limit-the lower limit is the tolerance. For example if i were to manufacture metal rods with a length of 10mm, and i have the technical specification from e.g my supplier 10 mm +- 1 mm, my tolerance is 2 mm. that means i can deliver my suppliers all metals rods that's 9-11mm long. Of course i need to take the uncertainties of my measurements into account as well.

Tolerance is a +/- Margin of Error is a +/- Accuracy is just an absolute value. Go to a shooting range and fire at a target. You will notice that your "accuracy" is described as "high and to the left" not +/- anything. Your firearm, however, has a tolerance (which for firearms is unfortunately called "accuracy") which is the result of everything involved in its manufacture. You can completely lock/bolt down any firearm into a fixed position and fire multiple shots at an indoor target. All bullets will follow similar but different paths, within the +/- delta comprising the firearm's tolerance. If you were to collect data concerning where bullets hit a target you could use statistical math to determine the accuracy of the shooting, but the data and the collection methodology and instrumentation all become factored into determining the +/- "margin of error" for the computed accuracy value.
