  2. Mineral resource classification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mineral_resource...

    Mineral Resources are further sub-divided, in order of increasing geological confidence, into inferred, indicated and measured as categories. Inferred Mineral Resource is the part of a mineral resource for which quantity, grade (or quality) and mineral content can be estimated with a low level of confidence. It is inferred from geological ...

  3. Observational error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observational_error

    If the next measurement is higher than the previous measurement as may occur if an instrument becomes warmer during the experiment then the measured quantity is variable and it is possible to detect a drift by checking the zero reading during the experiment as well as at the start of the experiment (indeed, the zero reading is a measurement of ...

  4. Mixing length model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixing_length_model

    Here, the bar on the left side of the figure is the mixing length. In fluid dynamics, the mixing length model is a method attempting to describe momentum transfer by turbulence Reynolds stresses within a Newtonian fluid boundary layer by means of an eddy viscosity. The model was developed by Ludwig Prandtl in the early 20th century. [1]

  5. Tape correction (surveying) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tape_correction_(surveying)

    C L is the corrected length of the line to be measured or laid out; M L is the measured length or length to be laid out; N L is the nominal length of the tape as specified by its mark; K L is a known length; Corr is the ratio of measured to actual length , determined by measuring a known length.

  6. Physical quantity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_quantity

    Ampèremetre (Ammeter) A physical quantity (or simply quantity) [1] [a] is a property of a material or system that can be quantified by measurement.A physical quantity can be expressed as a value, which is the algebraic multiplication of a numerical value and a unit of measurement.

  7. Length measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Length_measurement

    Length measurement, distance measurement, or range measurement (ranging) all refer to the many ways in which length, distance, or range can be measured. The most commonly used approaches are the rulers, followed by transit-time methods and the interferometer methods based upon the speed of light .

  8. Proper length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proper_length

    Proper length [1] or rest length [2] is the length of an object in the object's rest frame. The measurement of lengths is more complicated in the theory of relativity than in classical mechanics . In classical mechanics, lengths are measured based on the assumption that the locations of all points involved are measured simultaneously.

  9. Measurement uncertainty - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measurement_uncertainty

    In metrology, measurement uncertainty is the expression of the statistical dispersion of the values attributed to a quantity measured on an interval or ratio scale.. All measurements are subject to uncertainty and a measurement result is complete only when it is accompanied by a statement of the associated uncertainty, such as the standard deviation.
