within an error limit of / within an error of Explicación: I always use to report the errors of labware as being "0.01 ml +/- 0.1 ml". And we'd say "with an accuracy of nought point nought one grams and an error (limit) of nought point one grams". That was what we used to say in labs which I have researched. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 14 hrs (2012-11-20 12:52:57 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I would leave out "aceptado" because science should always be objective not subjective - who decides what is acceptable and what is not?....ideally we want no error but that's impractical. So we want to limit that error OR report what is the MAXIMUM possible error of an instrument (knowing its limitations). So maybe your best bet is simply "sensitive/accurate to 0.1 mg and with an error of 1 mg". (I think accurate is more typically used). |
