Sensitivity

Sensitivity as quoted in the datasheet, quantifies the change in output per unit change in applied pressure. Sensitivity is determined by computing the ratio of Full Scale Span to the specified Operating Pressure Range. Also known as “Slope”. It’s typically affected by the excitation voltage and expressed in terms of output millivolts per applied volt of excitation voltage (mV/V).

The sensitivity may change with operating conditions, particularly temperature. The sensitivity shift across the Compensated Temperature Range (CTR) is expressed as a percentage of full scale per °C change in temperature.
