F
perf
= 0.26 % (result of step 1)
F
stab
= 0.065 % x TD
F
stab
= 0.065 % x 2
F
stab
= 0.13 %
F
total
= 0.26 % + 0.13 % = 0.39 %
The total percentage deviation of the measurement is thus 0. 39%. The absolute total deviation is
0. 39% of 250 mbar = 1 mbar
The example shows that in practice the error of use can be significantly higher than the actual
measurement error. The causes are temperature influence and turn down.
