Repeatability and Reproducibility ( R & R) -- Basic Knowledge - Part 1

What is gauge repeatability and reproducibility? Gage repeatability and reproducibility (GR&R) is defined as the process used to evaluate a gauging instrument's accuracy by ensuring its measurements are repeatable and reproducible. What is meant by repeatability? · Repeatability is defined as the closeness of agreement between independent test results, obtained with the same method, on the same test material, in the same laboratory, by the same operator, and using the same equipment within short intervals of time. · Repeatability is the variation due to the measurement device. It is the variation that is observed when the same operator measures the same part many times, using the same gage, under the same conditions. What is reproducibility of a measurement system? · ...
