Question
7. 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)
50
100
150
200
0.0
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)
50
100
150
200
0.2
1.3
2.4
3.5
4.6
(a) Determine the sensitivity at 21 and 35°C.
(b) Calculate the total zero drift and sensitivity drift at 35°C.
(c) Hence determine the zero drift and sensitivity drift coefficients (in units of um/°C
and (um per kg)/(°C).
