Another term for repeatability is test-retest reliability; when you retest or re-measure an alloy sample, you should get essentially the same result, with a value close to the 3 sigma precision, or inversely, within approximately the 3 sigma error value.\u00a0Repeatability in your measurements helps to ensure quality in your process and your outcome.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thermofisher.com\/blog\/metals\/frequently-asked-questions-about-metal-analysis-using-laser-induced-breakdown-spectroscopy-libs?icid=CAD_blog_metals_2021Jan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Frequently Asked Questions about Metal Analysis using Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS)<br \/>\n<\/a>Find the answers to our most frequently asked questions about LIBS, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How does LIBS work?,<\/li>\n<li>What type of laser is used?,<\/li>\n<li>Are handheld LIBS analyzers safe to operate?<\/li>\n<li>What type of training is required?<\/li>\n<li>Is sample preparation required?<\/li>\n<li>&#8230;and more<span style=\"font-style: italic\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These are just some of articles addressing LIBS technology.\u00a0 Want to learn more in an easy-to-understand way, download the free ebook:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thermofisher.com\/us\/en\/home\/global\/forms\/industrial\/fsi-libs-ebook-download-request.html?icid=CAD_blog_metals_2021Jan\">LIBS technology for non-scientists<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Additional Resources:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Download our free <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thermofisher.com\/us\/en\/home\/global\/forms\/industrial\/steel-manufacturing-ebook-registration-form.html?icid=CAD_blog_metals_2023\">eBook: A Practical Guide to Improving Steel Manufacturing Processes and Production Methods<\/a><\/li>\n<li><em>Visit our center for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thermofisher.com\/us\/en\/home\/industrial\/manufacturing-processing\/steel-manufacturing.html?icid=CAD_blog_metals_bottomsteelresourcelink\">Improving Steel Manufacturing Processes and Production<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thermofisher.com\/us\/en\/home\/industrial\/manufacturing-processing\/steel-manufacturing.html?icid=CAD_blog_metals_bottomsteelbanner\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12003 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/admin.acceleratingscience.com\/metals\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/01\/steelbanner.jpg\" alt=\"visit our improving steel processes center\" width=\"1415\" height=\"291\" srcset=\"https:\/\/admin.acceleratingscience.com\/metals\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/01\/steelbanner.jpg 1415w, https:\/\/admin.acceleratingscience.com\/metals\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/01\/steelbanner-300x62.jpg 300w, https:\/\/admin.acceleratingscience.com\/metals\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/01\/steelbanner-1024x211.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/admin.acceleratingscience.com\/metals\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/01\/steelbanner-768x158.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1415px) 100vw, 1415px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you thinking about adopting new technologies this year for your positive material identification (PMI)\u00a0program in your oil and gas or petrochem plant?
