Easy-to-use, inexpensive pressure calibrator with
uncertainty better than 0.02%FS
Pressure / Process Calibration Equipment
OVERVIEW
At rst glance, the 672 series precision pressure calibrators look like an ordinary pressure gauge. But this series is
much more than ordinary, and denitely more than just a pressure gauge—it’s a pressure calibrator! With advanced
microprocessor technology and state-of-the-art silicon pressure sensors, the 672 series precision pressure calibrators
provide a pressure calibration solution for gauges, transmitters, and switches over a wide pressure range. The 672
is the size of a pressure gauge but with the functionality of a calibrator: It measures pressure precisely with a builtin pressure sensor, as well as reads the current or mV produced by a transducer. It can even supply an excitation
voltage to power sensors or transmitters during calibration. In order to reach 0.02%FS accuracy up to 10,000 psi
(700 bar) and 0.1%FS accuracy up to 60,000 psi (4,200 bar), every silicon pressure sensor has been specially aged,
tested, and screened before assembly. The 672 series precision pressure calibrators are unmatched in performance
and reliability.

Application Note
Understanding Accuracy Specifications for Digital Pressure Sensors – Percentage of Full Scale Versus
Percentage of Reading
Specications for digital pressure gauges can sometimes seem confusing or overwhelming, especially, if you are
unfamiliar with the terminology. Some pressure sensors will specify accuracy as a percent of full scale (FS) while
others provide the specication as a percent of reading. So why are there different ways of specifying the accuracy of
pressure sensors and is percent of reading more accurate than percent of full scale or vise versa? This brief technical
note will discuss the two differences and answer these questions.

Percentage of Reading Accuracy

Full scale: 0 to 100 psi

0 to 20% FS: 0.02% of FS
psi
Accuracy
(psi)
Accuracy as a percentage of reading is accomplished by multiplying
the accuracy percentage by the pressure reading. Thus, the lower
the pressure measurement, the better the accuracy. Instruments that
have a percent reading specification are accompanied with a floor
specication. The oor specication takes into account uncertainties
such as resolution and measurement noise which may be negligible
at higher pressures but are of much more significance at lower
pressures.
For example, an accuracy specification may read 0.1% of reading
0.02%FS100.02
for 20 to 100% of range and 0.02% of full scale below 20% of the
range. The 0.02% of full scale specication is considered the oor
specication. To understand the accuracy of the sensor, the user is
then required to know where the oor spec is applicable and the full
0.1% of
Reading
scale of the sensor.
This method of specication is often used because it aligns well with
the typical performance of pressure gauges. Typically, the closer you
measure to barometric pressure the better the performance of the
gauge. Figures 1 and the graph below show an example specication
for a 100 psi gauge and its accuracy in psi.
So you may ask, "Which is more accurate?" The answer is that it depends
on the pressure being measured. In the two examples given, the gauge
specied at 0.1% of reading is more accurate as you measure lower
pressures in its range. However, as you move above 50% of the range,
the gauge specied at 0.05% of full scale becomes more accurate than
the 0.1% of reading gauge. This can be seen clearly in the chart (left)
and graph (below) where the two gauges are compared in terms of psi
accuracy. To properly compare these, two gauges you should convert the
accuracy to pressure units, such as psi or bar. Then they can be properly
matched one against another in like units of measure.
In conclusion, one method of specication is not better than another, it
is just different. Given this difference it becomes important to know how
to interpret the different specications types and be able to compare one
versus another.
