Temperature coefficients (TC) of pressure sensors

Since temperature affects the measuring accuracy of a pressure sensor, there always remains a small temperature error in the rated temperature range despite an array of compensation measures. This error is often expressed in the data sheets of manufacturers of pressure sensors as temperature coefficient (abbr. TC). This coefficient describes a (linear) error, beginning with a reference point, which in most cases is room temperature.
Accordingly, เกจวัดแรงดัน at room temperature is zero and increases with increasing difference of the temperature from room temperature with the specified coefficient in linear fashion (see figure). Basically, pressure gauge -point temperature coefficient (abbr. TC0), but also that of the span (TCC) must be taken into account individually. The zero-point error describes the result of temperature on the zero signal. The error of the span specifies the result of temperature on the entire scale value. pressure gauge 10 bar of zero point and of span are often specified as magnitudes, meaning that they could be either positive or negative.
If in an individual instrument the zero-point error has the same sign because the error of the span, both of these temperature errors may add up in worst case. An average value for the average zero-point temperature coefficient of a pressure sensor is: 0.2 % / 10 K. Connect to WIKA pressure sensors.
