Reference temperature

The reference temperature is the ambient temperature at which the transducer specifications apply as far as there are no temperature ranges specifically defined in which the specifications concerned apply.

Nominal temperature range

The nominal temperature range is the ambient temperature range within which thetransducer can be operated for all practical purposes and within which it maintains the limit values for the metrological properties declared in the specifications.

Service temperature range

The service temperature range is the ambient temperature range within which the transducer can be operated without permanent variations occurring in its metrological properties.

At temperatures within the service temperature range but outside the nominal temperature range, there is no guarantee that the limit values declared for the metrological properties in the specifications will be maintained.

Storage temperature range

The storage temperature range is the ambient temperature range within which the transducer can be stored with no mechanical or electrical load without permanent variations occurring in its metrological properties.
