Question
A load cell is calibrated in an environment at a temperature of 21°C and has the following
deflection/load characteristic:
Load(kg)
Deflection(mm) 0.0
50
100
150
200
1.0
2.0
3.0
4.0
When used in an environment at 35°C, its characteristic changes to the following:
Load(kg)
Deflection(mm) 0.2
50
100
150
200
1.3
2.4
3.5
4.6
(a) Detemine the sensitivity at 21°C and 35°C
(b) Calculate the total zero drift and sensitivity drift at 35°C
(c) Hence detemine the zero drift and sensitivity drift coefficients (in units of um/°C and (um
per kg)/(°C))
