    3 Instrument Errors - Zero, Span, Linearity

    Uploaded by

    Jeremi Marko
    This document discusses different types of instrument calibration errors including zero error, span error, and linearity error. It provides an example of an electronic pressure transmitter that has a zero shift error based on calibration test measurements. The ideal and actual transfer functions are sketched on a graph to illustrate the zero shift. The summary explains that a zero error can be corrected by adjusting the zero screw, while a span error requires adjusting both the zero and span screws while applying the minimum and maximum input range values.

    Instrument Errors – Zero, Span, Linearity

    Prepared by: “Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you


    were to live forever.”

    Types of maintenance
    Preventive maintenance (PM)
    Its mission is to maintain a level of certain service on equipment, programming
    the interventions of their vulnerabilities in the most opportune time. It is used
    to be a systematic character, that is, the equipment is inspected even if it has
    not given any symptoms of having a problem..

    Corrective maintenance (CM)


    The set of tasks is destined to correct the defects to be found in the
    different equipment and that are communicated to the maintenance
    department by users of the same equipment..

    Breakdown maintenance (BDM)


    Breakdown maintenance is maintenance performed on a piece of equipment
    that has broken down, faulted, or otherwise cannot be operated. The goal of
    breakdown maintenance is to fix something that has malfunctioned.

    Quality maintenance
    Quality Maintenance is the sixth pillar of TPM and aims to assure zero defect
    conditions. It does this by understanding and controlling the process
    interactions between manpower, material, machines and methods that could
    enable defects to occur..
    Instrument Errors – Zero, Span, Linearity

    Suppose an electronic pressure transmitter has an input range of 0 to 100 PSI and an
    output range of 4 to 20 mA. When subjected to a 5-step up-and-down “As-
    Found” calibration test, it responds as such:

    Sketch this instrument’s ideal transfer function on the


    graph, along with its actual transfer function graph based
    on the measured values recorded as shown in above
    table. Then, determine what kind of calibration error it has
    (zero shift, span shift, hysteresis, and/or linearity): Finally,
    identify how this calibration error might be corrected. What
    steps or procedures would you follow to rectify this
    problem?
    Solution
    This instrument has a zero shift error, but not a span shift or linearity error.
    Ideal transfer function
    Actual Transfer Function

    Zero Error
    Actual Transfer Function
    Span Error

    A span error would look something like this (wrong slope):


    Actual Transfer Function
    Linearity Error

    A linearity error would look something like this (not a straight line)
    Instrument Errors – Zero, Span, Linearity

     A zero error is usually correctable by simply adjusting


    the “zero” screw on an analog instrument, without
    making any other adjustments.
     Span errors, by contrast, usually require multiple
    adjustments of the “zero” and “span” screws while
    alternately applying 0% and 100% input range values to
    check for correspondence at both ends of the linear
    function.
     For a SMART Transmitter, you can do zero trim and
    span trim using a HART communicator, by applying the
    respective value of process variable to the transmitter
    input and apply zero & span trims accordingly.
