The hysteresis error of a pressure sensor is the maximum difference in output at any measurement value hysteresis calculation excel within the sensor's specified range when approaching the point first with increasing and then with decreasing pressure. The hysteresis error value is normally specified as a positive or negative percentage of the specified pressure range. If a sensor is only used over half of the specified range the hysteresis error is calculated from this value. By using the maximum working pressure, the accuracy is of course better than specified by the manufacturer (for example percentage of working pressure). Also, the hysteresis error is usually expressed as a combination of mechanical and temperature hysteresis. Mechanical hysteresis Mechanical hysteresis is the output deviation at a certain input pressure, when that input is approached first by increasing and then by decreasing pressure. Temperature hysteresis Temperature hysteresis is the output deviation at a certain input pressure, before and after a temperature cycle. The hysteresis error is not always specified separately but combined in a total figure for linearity, hysteresis and repeatability.

The International Electrotechnical Commission's (IEC) definition of accuracy is the maximum positive and negative deviation from the specified characteristic curve observed in testing a device under specified conditions and by a specified procedure. Unfortunately when it comes to defining accuracy for a pressure sensor it's more complicated. Accuracy has a large effect on the cost https://www.dwyer-inst.com/articles/industry/powderbulk/understanding-pressure-sensor-accuracy/understanding-pressure-sensor-accuracy.cfm of a pressure sensor or even more important, the quality or efficiency of the process it is measuring. It is important to understand what factors determine accuracy and what questions to ask when selecting a sensor. Even though there isn't a defined standard for pressure sensor accuracy there is an IEC standard that defines factors that make-up accuracy. IEC 61298-2 states that accuracy must include Hysteresis, Non-Repeatability and Non-Linearity. Non-Repeatability and Hysteresis are well defined. Hysteresis is the maximum difference in sensor output at a pressure when that pressure is first approached with pressure increasing and then approached with pressure decreasing during a full span pressure cycle. Non-Repeatability is the maximum difference in output when the same pressure is applied, consecutively, under the same conditions and approaching from the same direction. Where manufactures start to differentiate is with Non-Linearity. IEC 61298-2 lists three methods of Non-Linearity, the two most popular methods used by sensor manufactures are the Best Fit Straight Line (BFLS) Non-Linearity and Terminal Point Non-Linearity. Usually the method of non-linearity us
us Pressure Sensor Accuracy Specifications Unfortunately there is no universally adopted convention for specifying the accuracy of pressure sensors. Although there are standards such as IEC60770 and DIN16086 most manufacturers do not specify http://www.sensorsone.com/pressure-sensor-accuracy-specifications/ them in their data sheets. It is therefore up to the user to analyse each data sheet to understand what parameters are included in the accuracy statement and what technique was used, so that a true comparison can be made. The accuracy of a pressure sensor can be broken down into a few contributing components which are linearity, hysteresis, short term repeatability, hysteresis error temperature errors, thermal hysteresis, long term stability and zero & span offsets.

The linearity refers to the straightness of the output signal at various equally spaced pressure points applied in an increasing direction. It should not be confused with accuracy which refers to how close a measured output or reading is to the actual pressure rather than how straight they all are. Pressure Hysteresis The proportion of pressure hysteresis can vary depending on the sensor technology and typically it is incorporated with linearity to define the precision of the pressure sensor. The pressure hysteresis is measured by taking the difference between 2 output signals taken at the exactly the same pressure but during a sequence of increasing and decreasing pressure. Short Term Repeatability The precision of a pressure sensor sometimes includes short term repeatability errors. This is an indication of how stable a pressure sensor is after a series of pressure cycles. The same pressure point from each pressure cycle is compared with the first cycle to deter
