EXAMPLES
The
relationship
between
temperature
and PRT
resistance
is a slightly
nonlinear one. Instruction
16 computes
this relationship
for
a
DIN
standard
PRT
where the nominaltemperature
coefficient
is
0.00385/oC. The
change
in
nonlinearity
of a
PRT
with
the
temperature
coefficient of
0.00392/oC is
minute
compared with
the
slope
change.
Entering a slope
correction factor
of
0.00385/0.00392
=
0.98214
as
the
multiplier in
Instruction 16
results
in a calculated
temperature which
is
wellwithin the
accuracy
specifications
of the PRT.

This
example describes
a measurement made
with
a Druck
PDCR
10/D
depth
measurement
pressure
transducer. The
pressure
transducer
was
ordered
with
passive
temperature
compensation for
use with
positive
or negative
excitation
and
has
a
range
of 5
psi
or
about 3.5
meters
of water. The
transducer
is
used to
measure
the depth of water
in a stilling well.
Instruction
6,
4 Wire Full
Bridge, is used
to
measure
the
pressure
transducer. The
high
output
ol the semiconductor
strain
gauge
necessitates the
use
of the 50mV
input
range.
The
sensor
is calibrated
by connecting it
to the

and
using lnstruction
6 with
a multiplier of
and
an offset of 0, noting
the
readings
("6
with
10 cm of
water
above the
sensor and with
334.6 cm of water
above the sensor. The
of Instruction 6 is 1000
Vr/V* or millivolts
per
volt
excitation. At 1O
cm the
reading
is
0.19963mV4/ and at 334.6 cm the reading
is
6.6485mV4/.
The multiplier to
yield
output in
is:
(334.6
-
10)/(6.6485-.19963)
=
50.334
cm/mV
The
offset
is
determined
after
the
pressure
transducer
is installed
in
the
stilling well. The
sensor is
installed
65 cm
below
the water level
at the time of
installation. The
depth of water at
this time
is
determined
to be
72.6 cm relative to
the desired reference. When
programmed
with
the multiplier determined
above
and
an offset
0,
a
reading of
65.12 is obtained.
The
offset
for
the actual
measurements
is thus determined to
be72.6
-
65.12
=
7.48 cm.
The lead length is
approximately
10 feet,
so
there is no appreciable error due to lead wire
resistance. Example
7.13 shows a means of
compensating
for long
lead
lengths.
