Liquid bath versus dry-block calibrator
With the same reference and the same repeatability, a stirred bath gives U = 0.038 °C and a dry block 0.139 °C, where the source becomes the largest term.
Repeatability vs reproducibility
Repeatability holds everything constant but time; reproducibility changes operators, instruments, locations or days. The gap reveals hidden influences.
Balance and scale calibration: eccentricity, repeatability and minimum weight
Beyond a few test weights: off-centre loading, repeatability at low load, and the minimum weight that decides what you may legitimately weigh at all.
