Span Sensitivity

Span Sensitivity defines the output signal characteristic of a strain gauge based sensor independent of measurement range or supply voltage.

For example a strain gauge pressure sensor with a span sensitivity of 1 mV/V/bar would have a full span output of 100 mV if connected to a 10Vdc supply and measuring over a range of 10 bar.

• 600 barg range 2 millivolt per volt output ceramic diaphragm pressure sensor
• 100 psig range mV/V output air pressure sensor for food processing use
• Solar powered remote telemetry 10mWC range 2mV/V output tank contents sensor
• 0-50mV to 0-10V Signal Conversion
