This application note is a follow up to a previous article – “Preventing Component Failure In The Fast Lane”.

The article deals with the design and function of the different types of transducer and the applications they are normally associated with.

One very well known case is, of course, thermocouples. International standard curves are available for these so they present little difficulty. The issue discussed here is determining a calibration curve and if appropriate reducing to a polynomial.

A very typical situation occurs with load-deflection tests such as non-linear springs, suspension systems, crush [...]]]> http://blog.prosig.com/2001/06/06/non-linear-calibration-curve-and-polynomial/feed/ 0
