1. - TRANSDUCER DESIGN CHARACTERISTICS Measurand Range Overrrange Recovery time Electrical Excitation Isolation Grounding Source impedance Load impedance Input impedance Output impedance Insulation resistance Breakdown voltage rating Output End points Ripple Harmonic content Noise Mechanical Configuration Dimensions Mountings Connections Case material Materials in contact with measured fluids Case sealing Identification

2. - TRANSDUCER PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS Static Dynamic Frequency response Sensitivity Transient response: Zero-measured output Response time Sensitivity shift Rise time Zero shift Time constant Creep Natural frequency Resolution Damping Threshold Damping ratio Hysteresis Overhoot Friction error Ringing frequency Repeatability Linearity (+reference line) Conformance (+reference curve) Static error band (+refrence line or curve) Reference lines: Theoretical slope Terminal slope End-point line Best straight line Least-squares line Reference lines: Theoretical curve Mean-output curve Environmental Operating enviromental effects Temperature range Thermal zero shift Thermal sensitivity shift Temperature error (band) Temperature gradient error Acceleration error (band) Attitude error Vibration error (band) Ambient-pressure error (band) Mounting error Nonoperating environmental effects Type-limited envoronmental effects Conduction error Strain error Transverse sensitivity Reference-pressure error

3. - TRANSDUCER RELIABILITY CHARACTERISTICS Useful life Operating life Cycling life Storage life Characteristics that may have adverse effects on the system in which the tranducer is installed when the transducer fails Characteristics controlled by applicable health codes Characteristics controlled by applicable safety codes. Protection against short-circuits Burst-pressure rating
