8.5 Calculation of total deviation (according to
DIN 16086)
The total deviation of a pressure transmitter indicates the maximum
measurement error to be expected in practice. It is also called maxi-
mum practical deviation or operational error.
According to DIN 16086, the total deviation F
total
is the sum of the
basic accuracy F
perf
and the long-term stability F
stab
:
F
total
= F
perf
+ F
stab
The basic accuracy F
perf
is composed of the deviation F
Kl
and the
thermal change of zero signal and output span F
T
:
F
perf
= √((F
T
) 2 + (F
Kl
) 2 )
To provide a better overview, the formula symbols are listed together
below:
•

Pressure measurement in the pipeline 8 bar (800 KPa)
Product temperature up to 50 °C
VEGABAR 82 with measuring range 10 bar, deviation < 0.075 %
Calculation of the turn down: TD = 10 bar/8 bar, TD = 1.25
1. step: Calculation of the basic accuracy
F
perf
= √((F
T
) 2 + (F
Kl
) 2 )
F
T
= (0.15 %) x (0.5 + 0.5 x TD)
F
Kl
= 0.075 %
F
perf
= √((0.15 %) x (0.5 + 0.5 x TD) 2 + (0.075 %) 2 )
F
perf
= 0.19 %
Step 2: Calculation of the total deviation
F
total
= F
perf
+ F
stab
F
stab
= (0.05 % x TD)
F
stab
= (0.05 % x 1.25)
F
stab
= 0.06 %
F
total
= 0.19 % + 0.063 % = 0.25 %
8.6 Exchange process assembly with version
IP 68 (25 bar)
With version IP 68 (25 bar), the user can exchange the process as-
sembly on site. Connection cable and external housing can be kept.
Required tools:
•
Hexagon socket wrench, size 2
