1. Dynamic Error
> Characterized by frequency and phrase response of the system for
periodic variations in the measured input.
2. Loading Error
> It is the difference between the value measured before and after the
measurement system is measured.
Sources of MEASUREMENT ERRORS
3. Static Error
> It is cause by physical nature of various components of the measuring
system.
4. Characteristic Error
> It is the deviation of measurement under constant environmental
conditions from the theoretical predicted performance.
* Elastic Deformation
>Divided into two: error cause from reflection when end gage is used for setting or
measure and deflection due to self weight on object.
* Parallax
> Any instrument that using pointer and scale may have parallax error because the gap
between pointer and scale is different at any reading angle.
5. Contact Pressure
> While measuring, the pressure at contact causes some penetration causing
error in measurement.
* Backlash
> Due to backlash in gears and screw threads, some motion is lost to overcome backlash.
* Hysteretic
> It is a source of errors in electrical instruments. Ascending values are observed when
decrease current or voltage.
* Avoidable Error
> The errors occured due to non-allignment of workpiece centre, improper of measuring
instruments,etc...
6. Human Error
> Difficult to detect. It can be include a tendency to read high or low using a wrong
instrument. Human Training is the best way to prevent this error.
* Errors in Technique and Experimental Error
> If wrong technique is used. Example; a calibration technique for vernier is used for
micrometer. Education helps to prevent these errors.
7. Computational Error
> Can be random or continuous, but once an error has started, it usually established itself
in the computation. This error is affected by environmental, fatigue and instrumentation.
* Chaotic Error
> Extreme disturbance that ruin or hide the measurement results. This
error include vibration, shock, extreme noise and etc...
