mittausarvona

Mittausarvona is a Finnish inflected form of the noun mittausarvo, meaning “as a measurement value.” In neutral, formal Finnish it is used to indicate the role or state of a quantity being reported as a measured value. The base noun mittausarvo combines mittaus (measurement) and arvo (value), and the translative form -na/-nä marks “as” or “in the capacity of.”

In scientific and technical writing mittausarvona appears when a result is presented as a measured quantity rather than as a theoretical or true value. It is often used in labeling, tables, or phrases that describe how the value should be interpreted. The term is part of a broader vocabulary that distinguishes the measured value from related concepts such as the true value, the result, or the uncertainty of the measurement.

Usage guidelines: mittausarvona is appropriate in formal reports, lab notes, or quality control documentation where values are presented as measurements. It can be contrasted with mittausarvo (the noun in its base form) or mittaustulos (measurement result). In many cases the measured value is accompanied by an uncertainty or an error estimate, for example “mittausarvona 12,34 cm, epävarmuus ±0,02 cm.”

Examples: Mittausarvona 9,81 m/s^2. Tulos esitetään mittausarvona 3,14 kg. Mittausarvona käytetty mittausyksikkö on the standard SI units in practice.
