Title: Usable measuring resistor range in multimeter (Two wires measurement)
Post by: Kiriakos GR on July 23, 2017, 11:51:41 AM
Every multimeter comes with a Users Manual,  specifications they are well explained.
Usually most manufacturers they do add also measuring tips.

The point is that two wires measurement by it self, this is a limiting factor if you do seek precision at low resistance measurements.

Therefore no matter of how well one multimeter this is made, or named accuracy specifications, nothing can really help when two wires measurement this starts by it self to become a third limiting factor.

Bellow there is a chart of good measuring practice for several resistance values from Low to High.
What you should keep in mind this is pointed by me as Blue range, all good quality handheld multimeter they should deliver precise measurements From and Up to, in this Blue range.

Also this information it should work for you as one alert, that for measurements out of this Blue (territory) you need another and specialized measuring tool.
