We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Measurement Accuracy",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Signal conditioner controls signal to noise ratio from
Pacific Instruments, which we summarised at the time by saying "The 6037's 'smart' gain ranging can reduce gain or increase it when the signal is below a specified threshold".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Temperature transmitter drops in with 4-20mA loop from
Labfacility: "Easy way to retrofit 4-20mA temperature transmitters to existing Pt100 or thermocouple sensors without removing them from the process".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Sensonics
concerning its PZEHT
- take a look at Vibration sensor handles high-temperature duties
which says: "ATEX approved vibration transducer is designed for use on gas turbines".
Take a look also at the news release from Eurotherm, Power controllers offer flexible configuration,
as well as Software models glucose measurement system from SolidWorks Corporation,
and Metering technologies combine to handle all flows from Able Instruments and Controls.
