... 34 Methods for Construction Materials," defines single-operator precision (also known as repeatability) as "an estimate of the difference that may be expected between duplicate measurements made on the same material in the same laboratory by the same operator using the same apparatus within a time span of a few days." On the other hand, multi-laboratory precision (also known as reproducibility)
