How do you calibrate a sensor for static calibration?
Static calibration refers to the input-output relations obtained when only one input of the instrument is varied at a time, all other inputs being kept constant.
To each constant input, which is measured with another instrument, we associate the sensor output. The plot of these points is the sensor static characteristic for that specific input.
Steps for calibration:
1. Identify all the possible inputs of the instrument.
2. Decide which of the inputs will be significant in your application.
3. Determine the apparatus and methods to control (vary or maintain constant) all significant inputs over the desired range.
4. By varying one input and holding the other inputs constant, develop the sensor input-output relations.
Example: Calibration of the pressure gage sensor
The objective in this example is to determine the relationship between the desired input (pressure) and the output (scale reading).
The first step of the calibration process requires identifying the desired, interfering and modifying inputs of the pressure gage.
In the second step you must determine how, or in what conditions, you are going to use the sensor.
For example, what will be the surrounding temperature? If the temperature (which is an interfering input for this sensor) varies over a large range during the normal use of the sensor, maybe you will have to do the (desired-input / output) calibration for different value of the temperature.
Then you must ensure that, by choosing the appropriate experimental conditions, all the inputs of the pressure gage, except the fluid pressure, are kept constant.
The fluid pressure (true value) must be varied with another instrument, in increments, over some range, causing the measured value also to vary:
The average calibration curve is taken as a straight line of equation:
qo = mqi + b
m and b can be obtained with the least-squares criterion.

A resistive temperature sensor Rv (calibration curve shown below) is used to measure the temperature of a process using Wheatstone bridge (Fig. 1). When the bridge is balanced, EO = OV. Then the Ry is inserted into a process whose temperature is 100C. Assume Ei = 10V, R1 = R2 = R3 = 4k12. 1. At which temperature the bridge is balanced? How much is EO at balanced mode? 2. Find the bridge output voltage E, a 3-significant figure voltmeter...

3. Explain why it is necessary to calibrate the spectroscope, and briefly outline the procedure that you will use to do this. An example of a calibration process is the following: Thermocouples can be used to measure temperature when it is not practical to do so with a thermometer. Thermocouples measure temperature in terms of voltage, rather than directly on a temperature scale and therefore need to be calibrated. Comparing the thermocouple output with the reading from a highly accurate...

Use the provided Ultrasonic Sensor to measure the distance between the sensor and an object. When an object is detected within a defined range, a buzzer must beep repeatedly at a certain rate. And as the object gets closer, the beeping gets faster. Your design must meet the following requirements 1. Calibrate the range of...
How do you solve this? Question 5 (1 point) In order to calibrate a constant volume bomb calorimeter, the combustion of (7.9100x10^-1) g of benzoic acid, CoH5COOH, was observed to cause the temperature in the calorimeter to rise from 25.000 to (2.973x10^1) °C. The energy. of combustion of benzoic acid, AU, is -3226.7 kJ mol-1. What is total heat capacity (C) of the calorimeter (including all its contents) in kJ °C-1? Pay attention to significant figures, keeping in mind that...
