Since temperature affects the measuring accuracy of a pressure sensor, there always remains a little temperature error in the rated temperature range despite a wide range of compensation measures. This error is frequently expressed in the info sheets of manufacturers of pressure sensors as temperature coefficient (abbr. TC). This coefficient describes a (linear) error, starting from a reference point, which generally is room temperature.
Accordingly, the temperature error at room temperature is zero and increases with increasing difference of the temperature from room temperature with the specified coefficient in linear fashion (see figure). Basically, not merely the zero-point temperature coefficient (abbr. TC0), but also that of the span (TCC) should be taken into account individually. The zero-point error describes the result of temperature on the zero signal. The error of the span specifies the result of temperature on the entire scale value. Killed of zero point and of span are usually specified as magnitudes, and therefore they could be either positive or negative.
If in an individual instrument the zero-point error has the same sign because the error of the span, these two temperature errors may accumulate in worst case. A typical value for the average zero-point temperature coefficient of a pressure sensor is: 0.2 % / 10 K. Link to WIKA pressure sensors.
