Precision
Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-002899
The degree of reproducibility of a measurement, indicating how closely repeated measurements agree with each other under the same conditions. It reflects the random error in a measurement system, distinct from its accuracy. High precision implies low scatter in the data, even if the measurements are systematically offset from the true value.
