ICS uses a Pratt & Whitney Metrology Laboratory Measurement System that is the standard of accuracy to which all other gages are held subordinate. Certified traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and represent the only dependable, absolute reference system for long length measurement.
When describing accuracy, the only meaningful definition must include all elements of the measurement system, from the transducer to the operator's influence. This instrument perpetrate the "Standard of Accuracy" set by Francis Pratt and Amos Whitney over 130 years ago, and, as such, deliver time-tested reliability and accuracy.
The electrolimit based measuring instrument utilizes a precision graduated master bar and maintains a non-accumulative accuracy throughout the measurement range.
