8.3 Calculation of total deviation (according to

DIN 16086)

The total deviation F

total

according to DIN 16086 is the sum of basic

accuracy F

perf

and longterm stability F

stab

. F

total

is also called maximum

practical deviation or utility error.
F

total

= F

perf

+ F

stab

F

= √((F

With:

F

: Total deviation

F

perf

: Basic accuracy

F

stab

: Long-term drift

F

T

: Temperature coefficient (influence of medium or ambient

temperature)

F

Kl

: Deviation

Example
Pressure measurement in the pipeline 8 bar (800 KPa)
Ambient temperature 40 °C, product temperature 10 °C, hence within

the compensated range
VEGABAR 52 climate compensated, with measuring range 10 bar
Calculation of the set Turn Down: TD = 25 bar/8 bar, TD = 1.25

stab

F

stab

= (0.1 % x TD)/year

F

stab

= (0.1 % x 1.25)/year

F

= 0.125 %

F

total

= 0.31 % + 0.125 % = 0.43 %

Total deviation digital output signal absolute:

total

= 0.43 % x 8 bar/100 % = 34.4 mbar

8.4 Exchanging the electronics module

In case of a defect, the electronics module can be exchanged by the

user against an identical type. If no electronics module is available on

side, the module can be ordered from the agency serving you.
Ordering and exchange are possible with or without sensor serial

number. The electronics module with serial number includes order-

specific data such as factory setting, seal material etc. These are not

included in the electronics module without serial number.
