Why a 4:1 TUR is Not Enough: The Importance of Analyzing the Probability of False Accept Risk Figure 1 Graph Showing Method 5 Acceptance Limits Several organizations and publications reference the use of a 4:1 Test Uncertainty Ratio (TUR). Some standards even reference a TUR requirement greater than or equal to 4:1. The question to […]
