Accuracy, resolution and precision
Accuracy describes agreement with the reference value; resolution describes the smallest displayed increment. Repeatability describes consistency across repeated measurements under the same conditions. These figures should be considered separately when comparing instruments.
For the FOGII, FOGII Plus and FOGL soil calcimeters, BD Inventions lists 0.5% CaCO₃ accuracy and an approximate analysis time of 30 seconds. FOGL has a 0.01% display resolution; the portable FOGII instruments have 0.1% resolution.
For GHFM-22, the manufacturer lists 5% accuracy and 2% repeatability. For THW-01LNG, it lists 1% accuracy and 0.5% repeatability. Performance is model- and configuration-specific; discuss calibration, preparation and operating conditions in your enquiry.
Rapid analysis and your overall workflow
The stated instrument analysis time does not include every preparation or handling step. For our customer-sample service, reporting requirements and turnaround are agreed in your quotation.
