Small differences between actual 2 d spacings of analytical crystals and those used for the calculation of 2θ tables generate θ‐dependent deviations of measured 2θ values from tabulated values of up to several tenths of a degree. It is shown that these deviations can be separated into a constant and a tan θ‐proportional component and used for a precise calibration of the spectrometer in terms of the actual value of the 2 d spacing of the analytical crystal and of the 2θ dial offset. The reported results were obtained on two instruments, an older manual spectrometer and a newer one operating under computer control.
