Question

A thermometer system is composed of a sensor and a readout unit. the readout has an accuracy and resolution of +-0.7 C and +-0.62 C, respectively. The sensor has an accuracy of +-0.88 C and a hysteresis error of +-1.36 C. Estimate the design stage uncertainty in the temperature measurement for the readout and sensor combined.

Step 1

7 C Resolution of readout unit = +-0.62 C Uncertainty for readout unit = sqrt((0.7)^2 + (0.62)^2) = sqrt(0.49 + 0.3844) = sqrt(0.8744) ≈ 0.935 C Show more…
