* Please Note : It is inappropriate to quantify "accuracy" as used in this table without consideration of various aspects of the actual test program and the instrumentation used. In general, "moderate" for stress analysis purposes is in the 2 to 5% range, "high" in the 1 to 3% range, and "very high" 1% or better.
