How many digits should I use when reporting measured values and uncertainty estimates?
The number of decimal digits used in reporting measured values and uncertainty estimates should be informative, but not misleading. It is a recommended practice to base the decimal digits on the following factors: • The resolution of the measuring device. • The measurement units used. • The uncertainty units used. • The information that needs to be conveyed.
