Difference between Systematic Error and Random Error:
Sr. No.
|
Systematic Error
|
Random Error
|
1.
|
These errors
results due to improper method of measurement or incorrect use of apparatus.
|
Error occurs due
to Environment, limitation in measuring Instrument.
|
2.
|
Consistent and Repetitive in nature.
|
These are sudden
and accidental type
|
3.
|
Appears in one
direction
|
Occurs in both the
directions.
|
4.
|
All errors can be minimized in magnitude and sense, except human error.
|
Magnitude and
sense of error cannot be controlled.
|
5.
|
Magnitude is
constant.
|
Magnitude varies
|
6.
|
Error cannot minimized by statistical method.
|
Error minimized by
statistical method by repeatedly taking the reading.
|
7.
|
Errors can be
recognized and reduced, if readings taken are analyzed.
|
It cannot be
Eliminated but results achieved can be corrected.
|
8.
|
It consists of,
Environmental
conditions, variation in contact pressure, Calibration error.
|
It consists of,
Operator error,
Fluctuation in setting the standard and work-piece, Error in reading scale,
fluctuation due to friction in measurement.
