A method of measurement in which the measurand is replaced by a quantity of the same kind, of known value, and chosen so that the effects on the indicating device are the same. Example: determination of a mass by means of a balance and known masses using the Borda substitution method. 4, record 1, English, - substitution%20method%20of%20measurement

Méthode de mesure dans laquelle la grandeur à mesurer est remplacée par une grandeur de même nature, de valeur connue, choisie de telle manière que les effets sur le dispositif indicateur soient les mêmes. Exemple : détermination d'une masse au moyen d'une balance et de masses marquées connues, par la méthode de substitution de Borda.

[La mesure par méthode de substitution est une méthode de mesure de la résistivité électrique en laboratoire.] L'impédance électrique d'un spécimen de roche est déterminée en lui substituant une résistance variable R(v) et un condensateur variable C(v) en parallèle. On fait varier R(v) et C(v) jusqu'à ce qu'un voltmètre indique un minimum au point de résonance et on détermine la résistance et la capacitance de la roche dès qu'on peut calculer «p» [la résistivité électrique] et «E» [la constante diélectrique] du spécimen [...] 1, record 2, French, - mesure%20par%20m%C3%A9thode%20de%20substitution
