11. Terminology

Non-linearity
The largest deviation from the effective characteristic line of an ideal reference
line. The reference line can be defined as a limit point adjustment, a BSL or a
BSL through 0.
Specifications: Non-linearity, Hysteresis

BSL through Zero

As an additional requirement for the minimum value adjustment, the BSL
through zero (also BSL/0) must go straight through zero or the origin.
Specifications: Accuracy NLH (BSL through zero)

PSD K02/0118 page 11

 PSD

BSL Best Straight Line

The reference line according to the BSL or the minimum value adjustment is
placed in such a way that the maximum positive and negative deviations are as
small as possible.
Specifications: Non-linearity, Hysteresis
Specifications: Accuracy NLH (BSL)

NLH Non-linearity and Hysteresis

Largest deviation from the ideal characteristic line (BSL, BSL/0 or limit point). In
pressure measuring instruments, the non-linearity and pressure hysteresis are
given together at a constant temperature.
Temperature Coefficient TC
Change of measured value for zero point and span as a result of changes in
temperature
Long-term Stability Long-term Drift
The change of accuracy due to aging under certain reference conditions
during a certain period of time, typically 1 year.
TEB Total Error Band
Total error (root from sum of the square of the deviations) due to measurement
deviations (accuracy) and temperature influence (temperature coefficient TC).
The temperature influence is usually given in the information across a range
larger than that given in the standard (-10 ... +60 °C). Whilst DIN 16086 also
continues to add to the long-term stability over a year, the information is subject
to ex-works conditions for obvious reasons.
