Effect of mounting position - absolute pressure from gauge and differential pressure series
In pressure per change of angle
● For absolute pressure (from the gauge pressure series):
≤ 0.05 mbar/0.005 kPa/0.000725 psi per 10° incline
● For absolute pressure (from the differential pressure
series): 0.7 mbar/0.07 kPa/0.001015 psi per 10° incline
(zero-point correction is possible with position error compen‐
sation)
