1. Predicted Q-RPT measurement stability limit (k=2) over one year assuming regular use of AutoZero function. AutoZero
occurs automatically in gauge mode whenever vented, by comparison with barometric reference in absolute mode.
Absolute mode predicted one year stability without AutoZ is ± (0.005 % Q-RPT span + 0.005 % of reading).
2. Combined linearity, hysteresis, repeatability. Add + 1 Pa (0.00015 psi) in gauge mode with an Axxx (absolute) Q-RPT for
the resolution and short term stability of the on-board barometer.
3. Maximum deviation of the Q-RPT indication from the true value of applied pressure including precision, predicted one year
stability limit, temperature effect and calibration uncertainty, combined and expanded (k=2) following the ISO “Guide to the
Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement.”
4. Maximum deviation of the PPC3 controlled pressure from the true value including measurement uncertainty and dynamic
control hold limit.
5. % of reading value times measured pressure from 100 to 30 % of Q-RPT span. Under 30 % of Q-RPT span, % of reading
value times 30 % of Q-RPT span. For example, if the Q-RPT is a Standard A160K, the Measurement Uncertainty in
pressure is 0.010% times the measured pressure to 48 kPa (160 kPa span x 30%) and 0.0048 kPa (160 kPa span x 30%
x 0.01%) under 48 kPa.
6. % of reading value times measured pressure from 100 to 30 % of AutoRanged span. Under 30% of AutoRanged span, %
of reading value times 30% of AutoRanged span. If AutoRanged span is less then 30% of maximum Q-RPT span, % of
reading values times measured pressure, or % of reading times 9% of Q-RPT span, whichever is greater. For example, if
the Q-RPT is a Premium A160K and AutoRanged span is 160 kPa, the Measurement Uncertainty in pressure is measured
pressure x 0.008% to 48 kPa (160 kPa AutoRanged span x 30%) and 0.0038 kPa (160 kPa span x 30% x 0.008%) under
48 kPa. If the AutoRanged span is 100 kPa (greater than 30% of 160 kPa maximum Q-RPT span), the measurement
uncertainty in pressure is measured pressure x 0.008% to 30 kPa (100 kPa AutoRanged span x 30%) and 0.0024 kPa
(100 kPa span x 30% x 0.008%) under 30 kPa. If the AutoRanged span is 30 kPa (less than 30% of the 160 kPa
maximum Q-RPT span), the measurement uncertainty in pressure is measured pressure x 0.008% to 14.4 kPa (160 kPa
maximum Q-RPT span x 9%) and 0.0012 kPa (160 kPa maximum Q-RPT span x 9% x 0.008%) under 14.4 kPa.
