The image above represents the percentage error at any point on the instrument. Two essential parameters are Error (E) and True Value (TV) to calculate percentage error at any point on the instrument.
The formula for calculating percentage error at any point on the instrument:
%E =Â EÂ /Â TVÂ x 100%
Where:
%E = Percentage Error at any point on the Instrument
E = Error
TV = True Value
Let’s solve an example;
Find the percentage error at any point on the instrument when the error is 45 and the true value is 25.
This implies that;
E = Error = 45
TV = True Value = 25
%E =Â EÂ /Â TVÂ x 100%
S =Â 45Â /Â 25 x 100%
That is, S = 1.8 x 100%
S =Â 180
Therefore, the percentage error at any point on the instrument is 180%.
Calculating for the Error when the Percentage Error at any Point on the Instrument and the True Value are Given
E = %E x TV / 100%
Where:
E = Error
%E = Percentage Error at any Point on the Instrument
TV = True Value
Let’s solve an example;
Find the error when the percentage error at any point on the instrument is 32 and the true value is 12.
This implies that;

%E = Percentage Error at any Point on the Instrument = 32
TV = True Value = 12
E = %E x TV / 100%
E = 32 x 12 / 100%
Then, E = 384 / 100%
E = 3.84
Therefore, the error is 3.84%.

Calculating for the True Value when the Percentage Error at any Point on the Instrument and the Error are Given
TV = E x 100% / %E
Where:
TV = True Value
%E = Percentage Error at any Point on the Instrument
E = Error
Let’s solve an example;
Find the true value when the percentage error at any point on the instrument is 60 and the error is 20.
This implies that;
%E = Percentage Error at any Point on the Instrument = 60
E = Error = 20
TV = E x 100% / %E
So, TV = 20 x 100% / 60
TV = 2000 / 60
TV = 33.33
Therefore, the true value is 33.33%.
