Cgk (Repeatability and Bias Index)

MSA Type 1 metric combining repeatability and bias in a single figure.

Also known as: repeatability and bias index, Cgk value

The Cgk index extends Cg to include the instrument's systematic deviation from the reference value. It thus covers both precision and trueness in a single number.

Half the allowed tolerance fraction is reduced by the absolute bias and divided by the weighted spread. It always holds — the gap shows how much capacity the bias "consumes".
