1. Both a and b remain constant, irrespective of the distance being measured.
  2. a remains constant and b varies in proportion to the distance being measured.

Option 2 : a remains constant and b varies in proportion to the distance being measured.

Accuracy of EDMI is generally stated in terms of constants instruments error and measuring

Error proportional to the distance being measured.

± (a mm + b ppm)

The first part ‘a’ in this expression indicates a constant instrument error that is independent of the length of line measured.

Second component ‘b’ is distance related error.

Classification of EDM instruments based on the precision obtainable:

Less precise → Standard deviation of one measurement greater than ± (5 mm + 5 ppm)

Moderately precise → Standard deviation of one measurement = ± (5 mm + 1 ppm)

Highly precise → Instruments having a standard deviation of one measurement = ± (1 mm + 1 ppm)
