Showing the error of a combined effect of the fill fluid characteristics and its related expansion or contraction error of the seal volume. This is based on the volumetric displacement of the diaphragm, which is dependent on thickness, diameter and material of construction. All based on the maximum process temperature.

It is difficult to make a general statement on the performance of any diaphragm seal application based on only one single effect or factor. It is the combination of the set of factors that determines the total performance. Statistical mathematics shows that the most realistic way to combine the effects of independent factors is by using the root-sum-square (RSS) method instead of just summing or averaging them. The result of the RSS method is what we refer to as the Total Probable Error of the diaphragm seal application. BaseCal’s TPE is based on the following effects :

• Process temperature effect
• Ambient temperature effect
• Mounting effect
• Accuracy at process temperature
• Static pressure effect

The response time is defined as the time lag between the pressure response in the pressure measuring instrument (e.g., moment when reaching 63.2 % or 90 % of the total pressure change) and the step-change moment of the process-medium pressure.
