3. Then the gage will read .09 and multiply it by 1.11 and it will display .099. Now the reading is
only off by 1%.
If calibration sample has a different topography/base properties than the sample measured, you can
compensate using an offset.

Question: What is the best method for measuring zinc and cadmium on steels?
Answer: Either (it’s relative). Both methods provide the same accuracy and repeatability. Accuracy is
based upon the calibration set up.
