Two corrections are made to the equations for estimating the counting statistical errors in diffraction stress measurements. It is shown that the previous equations provide a conservative estimate of the counting‐statistical component of the random errors in stress measurements. The results from the corrected equations are compared to a Monte Carlo model and to replicated measurements. A procedure to handle other sources of random error is also suggested.
