-As example, a pH meter with an accuracy given as (0.2%+1 digit) and a resolution of 0.01 pH. It depends on the reproducibility at the calibration points (± 0.01, 1 digit) and the linearity between and outside the calibration points (0.2%). When a calibration is done at pH 7.00 and pH 4.00, the device error at these same points is ±0.01 pH. For a measurement at 5.50 pH , the device error is (1.50 pH * 0.002) ± 0.01.+As example, a pH meter with an accuracy given as (0.2%+1 digit) and a resolution of 0.01 pH.

 Check the accuracy of the pH buffers to know the possible measurement errors. Measuring between 2 buffers, used for the calibration, with an accuracy of 0.02 pH will introduce a measurement error of 0.04 pH. Check the accuracy of the pH buffers to know the possible measurement errors.

-Also follow the [[ph_measurement_tips#good_measurement_practices |Good Measurement Practices]] to make sure the calibration is done in the best conditions as possible. Don't rush the calibration to make sure all values are correctly registered by the meter.+==== The user ====
