Thermal Coefficient of Span (TCS)

The thermal coefficient span (TCS) describes the temperature dependence of the measuring range. This is relevant whenever the temperature in use deviates from the reference temperature (25°C). The percentage indicated refers to the measuring range span. 

For example, in the case of a 10-bar pressure sensor with a TCS of 0.05%/10 K, the measured signal (10 bar) at 35°C is falsified by a maximum of +/- 0.005 bar due to the change in temperature (10 K in relation to 25°C).
Calculation:

Possible temperature error [bar] = (measured value*(TCS*(current temperature - 25°C)/10))
