Temperature range and temperature limit for pressure sensors – is there a difference? My intuitive answer would be: Yes! The first term describes a section and the second its border. On second glance, however, I have to conclude that both words ultimately express the …
Temperature error
Heat dissipation
Joachim Brückner | Know-how"At best, a thermometer only ever measures its own temperature". The aim is therefore to equalise the temperature of the sensor element to that of the medium to be measured. Only then will the thermometer display the actual medium temperature. The heat …
What does temperature compensation or compensated temperature range for pressure sensors mean?
Michèle Beyer | Know-howNo other term is as misleading as "compensated temperature range". Let´s first begin with what is meant: The compensated temperature range is the temperature range in which the temperature error, and accordingly the temperature coefficients, are valid. Not, as one …
Active and passive temperature compensation of pressure sensors
Dominik Lorenz | GeneralHow does an active or passive temperature compensation of pressure transmitters actually work? High-quality pressure transmitters, especially those used in precision critical applications, are almost always provided with an individual temperature compensation. But …
Temperature coefficients (TC) of pressure sensors
Anna Gries | GeneralSince temperature affects the measuring accuracy of a pressure sensor, there always remains a small temperature error in the rated temperature range despite a wide range of compensation measures. This error is often expressed in the data sheets of manufacturers of …
