Abstract

This study focuses on the uncertainty analysis of pressure transducers, which are widely used in industrial applications. Pressure transducers convert mechanical pressure into electrical signals for measurement and monitoring across diverse sectors, like aerospace, automotive, and medical fields. The paper proposes a novel method for performing calibration uncertainty analysis through relativization, allowing the normalization of uncertainty contributions to various measurement parameters. By applying this approach, the study offers a standardized method to understand and quantify the impact of different sources of error on the overall measurement uncertainty. Furthermore, the techniques discussed in the study are applicable not only to pressure sensors but also to other measurement systems with multiple output units, contributing to the accuracy and reliability of measurement processes across various industries.
