Zero Effect:

±0.1% of the upper range limit per 1000 psi (69 bar) for line pressures from 0 to 2000 psi (0 to 138 bar)

For line pressures above 2000 psi (138 bar), the zero effect error is ± 0.2% of the upper range limit plus an additional ± 0.2% of upper range limit error for each 1000 psi (69 bar) of line pressure above 2000 psi (138 bar).

Example: Line pressure is 3000 psi (3 kpsi). Zero effect error calculation:

± {0.2 + 0.2 x [3 kpsi - 2 kpsi]} = ± 0.4% of the upper range limit

Span Effect:

Correctable to ±0.2% of reading per 1000 psi (69 bar) for line pressures from 0 to 3626 psi (0 to 250 bar)

The systematic span shift caused by the application of static line pressure is -1.00% of reading per 1000 psi (69 bar) for Range 4 transmitters, and -1.25% of reading per 1000 psi (69 bar) for Range 5 transmitters.

Use the following example to compute corrected input values.

Example

A transmitter with model number 2051_CD4 will be used in a differential pressure application where the static line pressure is 1200 psi (83 bar). The transmitter output is ranged with 4 mA at 500 inH2O (1,2 bar) and 20 mA at 1500 inH2O (3,7 bar).

To correct for systematic error caused by high static line pressure, first use the following formulas to determine corrected values for the low trim and high trim.

LT = LRV + S x (LRV) x P

Where:

LT =

Corrected Low Trim Value

 

LRV =

Lower Range Value

 

S =

–(Span shift per specification)

 

P =

Static Line Pressure

HT = URV + S x (URV) x P

Where:

HT =

Corrected High Trim Value

 

URV =

Upper Range Value

 

S =

–(Span shift per specification)

 

P =

Static Line Pressure

In this example:

 

 

 

URV =

1500 inH2O (3.74 bar)

 

LRV =

500 inH2O (1.25 bar)

 

P =

1200 psi (82.74 bar)

 

S =

± 0.01/1000
