Answer / hiren patel

As per my point of view,

Precision is degree of exactness.It does not mean that how near to goal you are but it shows how many times you will get nearer result as you obtain first time.

for example In archery game goal is center circle and you hit at third circle at position let say at uppermost position. now on second, third , fourth time you will hit at same or nearer to that point. then it is called precision.

Repeatability means how many time the systems repeats the same value under same conditions.

I have installed a RTD whose length is 2250mm(RTD stem length), but it's upper 200 -250mm is out of the reactor, and this upper 200mm stem is surrounded by atmospheric temp. And the lower portion i.e. 2000mm is in contact with the measuring fluid, then does the final measuring temp. Gonna change as the upper 200mm RTD stem is out of reactor?
