| linearity | |||
| Ability of a measuring system to provide measured quantity values that are directly proportional to the quantity value of the measurand. | |||
| Note 1: | The linearity of a measuring system is assessed during procedure validation. | ||
| Note 2: | The set of measured quantity values for which linearity of a measuring system applies is usually termed “linear interval” or “linear range”. | ||
| Note 3: | Linearity of a measuring system should not be confused with linearity of calibration. | ||
