Temperature coefficients (TC) of pressure sensors

Since temperature affects the measuring accuracy of a pressure sensor, there always remains a little temperature error in the rated temperature range despite a variety of compensation measures. This error is frequently expressed in the data sheets of manufacturers of pressure sensors as temperature coefficient (abbr. TC). This coefficient describes a (linear) error, beginning with a reference point, which in most cases is room temperature.
Accordingly, pressure gauge at room temperature is zero and increases with increasing difference of the temperature from room temperature with the specified coefficient in linear fashion (see figure). Basically, not merely the zero-point temperature coefficient (abbr. TC0), but additionally that of the span (TCC) must be considered individually. The zero-point error describes the effect of temperature on the zero signal. The error of the span specifies the result of temperature on the entire scale value. The average person temperature coefficients of zero point and of span are usually specified as magnitudes, and therefore they might be either positive or negative.
If within an individual instrument the zero-point error has the same sign as the error of the span, these two temperature errors may add up in worst case. An average value for the average zero-point temperature coefficient of a pressure sensor is: 0.2 % / 10 K. Link to WIKA pressure sensors.
