Mõõtmisulatuse

Mõõtmisulatuse refers to the range of values that a measuring instrument can accurately detect or display. It defines the limits of what a device is capable of measuring. For example, a thermometer with a measuring range of -10°C to 50°C can only accurately measure temperatures within this specific interval. Anything outside this range will either be outside the instrument's ability to respond or will be displayed incorrectly.

The measuring range is a crucial specification for any measuring instrument, as it dictates its suitability for particular applications. A wider measuring range generally allows an instrument to be used in a broader set of circumstances. Conversely, a narrower range might indicate higher precision or sensitivity within that specific interval, making it ideal for specialized tasks.

When selecting a measuring instrument, it is essential to consider the expected range of the quantity being measured. Choosing an instrument with a measuring range that encompasses the anticipated values ensures that the measurements will be accurate and reliable. If the quantity to be measured falls outside the instrument's range, the results will be meaningless or potentially erroneous.

The measuring range is typically specified by the minimum and maximum values the instrument can handle. These limits are determined by the design and calibration of the instrument. Understanding the measuring range is fundamental for correct instrument selection and for interpreting the validity of the measurements obtained.
