The accuracy can be determined from the deviation data. The maximum positive deviation is 17 Pa and the largest negative deviation is -13 Pa. For a span of 1000 Pa, this translates to an accuracy of +1.7% and -1.3% of full scale. Note: this accuracy only applies when the readings are corrected using the above curve fit to the data. The repeatability can be evaluated from the deviations given in Table P2.14. This occurs at the 200 Pa "down" reading and has a value of 5 Pa. This translates to 0.5% of full scale. The hysteresis error is given by the maximum deviation between the up and the down readings for any value of the measurand in one cycle. The value is 14 Pa which occurs at 400 Pa in Cycle 2.

9.10 The applied pressure is (Eq. 9.2):

P = hg = 3in /(12in / ft )(62.4lbm / ft 3 ) /(32.17lbm ft / lbf sec 2 )32.17 ft / sec 2 = 15.6lbf / ft 2

This pressure is applied to the inclined manometer. Using Eq.9.3: P = R sin g 15.6(lbf / ft 2 ) = Rsin7 o 50.0(lbm / ft 3 )32.17(ft / sec 2 ) / 32.17(lbm ft / lbf sec 2 ) R = 2.56 ft LLP3 Transmitter Current, IT [mA] Manometer Reading, RM [inch-H2O]
