Force Sensor Problem

The document provides three examples of sensors and their input/output ranges and asks to determine equations relating inputs to outputs. The first example gives the ranges for a force sensor and pressure transmitter and asks for the linear equations relating their inputs in newtons and pascals to outputs in volts and milliamps. The second and third examples provide the input/output ranges and an output measurement for nonlinear sensors measuring pressure and temperature, asking to calculate the nonlinearity in volts and as a percentage of span.

I.

A force sensor has an output range of 1 to 5 V corresponding

to an input range of 0 to 2 × 105 N. Find the equation of the

ideal straight line. A differential pressure transmitter has an

input range of 0 to 2 × 104 Pa and an output range of 4 to 20

mA. Find the equation to the ideal straight line.

II. A non-linear pressure sensor has an input range of 0 to 10

bar and an output range of 0 to 5 V. The output voltage at 4

bar is 2.20 V. Calculate the non-linearity in volts and as a

percentage of span.

III. A non-linear temperature sensor has an input range of 0 to

400 °C and an output range of 0 to 20 mV. The output signal

at 100 °C is 4.5 mV. Find the non-linearity at 100 °C in

millivolts and as a percentage of span.
