Understanding how a Texture Analyser works – Measurement accuracy, precision and resolution

A Texture Analyser is a critical tool in various industries, particularly in food, pharmaceuticals, and materials science, for measuring the physical properties of products. Key aspects of its functionality include measurement accuracy, precision, and resolution. Understanding these concepts is essential for interpreting test results correctly and ensuring reliable data.

Measurement accuracy

Accuracy refers to how close a measured value is to the true value. 

Regular calibration against known standards should retain precision and improve accuracy.

Conditions like temperature and humidity can affect accuracy and must be controlled.
