Beamex / Dictionary / Metrology / Precision

Precision is a property of a measuring system or instrument. Precision is a measure of the repeatability of a measuring system – how much agreement there is within a group of repeated measurements of the same quantity under the same conditions. (NCSL, page 26) Precision is not the same as accuracy. (VIM, 3.5)
