Temperature coefficient span
The temperature coefficient span (TCS) describes the temperature dependence of the measuring range. This is relevant whenever the temperature in use deviates from the reference temperature (25°C). The percentage indicated refers to the measuring range span.
Example:
In the case of a 10-bar pressure sensor with a TCS of 0.05%/10 K, the measured signal (10 bar) at 35°C is falsified by a maximum of +/- 0.005 bar due to the change in temperature (10 K in relation to 25°C).
Calculation:
Possible temperature error [bar] = (measured value*(TCS*(current temperature - 25°C)/10))
