When selecting measurement and control systems, evaluate three components: base accuracy (±0.03% of span), measurement range and reference conditions.8
For example, a transmitter with ±0.1% accuracy measuring 0-10 bar gives ±0.01 bar precision. Tighter control requires better accuracy or narrower spans. Temperature compensation features help maintain accuracy across varying operating conditions.
For process control, repeatability often matters more than absolute accuracy. Safety systems need calibration certificates with traceability. Request installed accuracy data from suppliers: while reference accuracy reflects ideal lab conditions, installed accuracy accounts for vibration, temperature cycling and process effects.
