mõõtmispiirid

Mõõtmispiirid refers to the range of values that a measuring instrument can accurately detect or display. This range is defined by a lower and an upper limit. The lower limit indicates the smallest value the instrument can reliably measure, while the upper limit signifies the largest value it can measure without saturation or significant error. Understanding the mõõtmispiirid is crucial for ensuring the validity and accuracy of any measurement. Exceeding the upper limit can lead to readings that are incorrect or simply displayed as "overload" or "out of range." Similarly, measuring values below the lower limit may result in readings that are too imprecise to be useful or are simply not detected by the instrument. Different instruments have different mõõtmispiirid depending on their design, intended application, and sensitivity. For example, a thermometer designed for everyday use will have a much narrower mõõtmispiirid than a scientific instrument used for ultra-low temperature research. Specifications for an instrument will always list its mõõtmispiirid, often in units relevant to the quantity being measured, such as volts, ohms, meters, or degrees Celsius. Selecting an instrument with appropriate mõõtmispiirid for the task at hand is a fundamental step in the measurement process.
