Textbook Question
Chapter 9, Problem 9.9P
A strain gauge, diaphragm pressure transducer (accuracy: <0.1% reading) is subjected to a pressure differential of 10 kPa. If the output is measured using a voltmeter having a resolution of 10 mV and accuracy of better than 0.1% of the reading, estimate the uncertainty in pressure at the design stage. How does this change at 100 and 1,000 kPa?
