Readability

Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-009987

The smallest difference between two measured values that can be meaningfully distinguished on the display of a measuring instrument. It represents the limit of the instrument's display resolution and is not the same as its accuracy or precision. For a digital balance, the readability is the smallest increment in mass shown on its digital display, such as 0.1 mg.
