 The accuracy of the FATMETER depends upon the fat/oil content of the sample being measured and ranges from an uncertainty in the fat content of (+/-) 1% (95% confidence interval) at low levels to (+/-) 4% at very high levels (greater than 45%).
Therefore it is advisable that the operator follows the measurement methodology rigorously, and always takes readings as described in wall charts supplied.
