| stability | |||
| Property of a measuring instrument, whereby its metrological properties remain constant in time. | |||
| Note 1: | Stability may be quantified in several ways. | ||
| Example 1: | In terms of the duration of a time interval over which a metrological property changes to a stated extent. | ||
| Example 2: | In terms of the change of a property over a stated time interval. | ||
| Note 2: | The term “stability” is also used for material stability. | ||
