Trim the pressure signal

5.4.1 Sensor trim overview
A sensor trim corrects the pressure offset and pressure range to match a pressure
standard. The upper sensor trim corrects the pressure range and the lower sensor trim
(zero trim) corrects the pressure offset. An accurate pressure standard is required for full
calibration. You can perform a zero trim if the process is vented or the high and low side
pressure are equal (for differential pressure transmitters).
Zero trim is a single-point offset adjustment. It is useful for compensating for mounting
position effects and is most effective when performed with the transmitter installed in its
final mounting position. As this correction maintains the slope of the characterization
curve, do not use it in place of a sensor trim over the full sensor range.
When performing a zero trim, ensure that the equalizing valve is open and all wet legs are
filled to the correct levels. Apply line pressure to the transmitter during a zero trim to
eliminate line pressure errors. Refer to

Note
Do not perform a zero trim on Rosemount 3051T Absolute Pressure Transmitters. Zero
trim is zero based, and absolute pressure transmitters reference absolute zero. To correct
mounting position effects on a Rosemount 3051T Absolute Pressure Transmitter, perform
