We have a transducer which is rated for 0-2000 psi, and it outputs 0-5 Volts. The specification document states that the accuracy is a combined LHR of +/- 0.5 %FS, how would we check this?
Hysteresis
Hysteresis
Hysteresis is the difference of two separate measurements taken at the same point, before and after a physical quantity is increased and decreased.
LHR – Linearity, Hysteresis and Repeatability
Linearity, Hysteresis and Repeatability (LHR) is often used to describe the room temperature precision of a pressure sensor, excluding all zero & span offsets, temperature errors and long term stability. Also see non-linearity and pressure hysteresis.
Pressure Hysteresis
Pressure Hysteresis is the difference between two separate measurements taken at the same pressure but one where the pressure was increasing and the other where the pressure was decreasing. The hysteresis is caused by the natural reluctance of a pressure sensing material such as a diaphragm to return to its original position, shape or form […]
Measurement Accuracy
There are many contributing error factors which go into a total uncertainty calculation. The way accuracy is defined for pressure instruments on technical data sheets can vary significantly across manufacturers and product types.
Pressure Calibration
