General Description 3.3.2 Characteristics of Type 9215A Type 9215A is the smallest sensor of the type series. The front side introduction of force is center-aligned with a diaphragm in the case, laterally supported and transfers the force to a transversal quartz package. Since the latter is mounted in the case with only minor preloading, the result is an asymmetric measuring range. -

Page 38: Measurement Uncertainty
1 % FSO Industrial charge amplifier Higher accuracy can be achieved with the following procedures: Calibration in the Kistler factory Calibration with charge amplifier Type 5395A Restriction of the temperature range Random Errors, Precision, Reproducibility Precision or reproducibility is the extent of conformity between independent data measured under specified conditions. -
Page 39: Linearity
Errors due to zero drift caused by influences changing with time, such as the temperature, are thus basically excluded. With Kistler piezoelectric measuring chains, a typical repeatability within 0,1 % FSO can be assumed. 9.3 Linearity Sensor Linearity The quartz crystal produces an electric charge, which is exactly proportional to the load. - Page 40 Type 9215A, 9217A/A1 Best Straight Line – Mathematical Definition The minimization of maximum deviation is known as Chebyshev’s approximation.

Page 42: Influence Of Temperature
Type 9215A, 9217A/A1 In their dynamic behavior, piezoelectric sensors are superior to all other measuring methods. Their high rigidity results in the highest possible natural frequencies. Piezoelectric sensors are thus ideal for measuring measurands which change rapidly over time. Their dynamic behavior is thereby largely determined by the surrounding structure. - Page 43 Annex Temperature Gradient Error (Dynamic Error) A temporary change in the output signal is denoted as temperature gradient error, when the temperature of the environment or surrounding medium changes with a certain rate. In this case, the sensor is not in thermal equilibrium with the environment.
