In instrumentation some of the technical parameters feel very close, but in fact they are very different. Today, we will distinguish the difference and connection between sensitivity and precision in instrumentation.
Sensitivity of the instrument:
Sensitivity refers to the ability of an instrument to measure a small amount of measurement. The smaller the amount measured, the higher the sensitivity of the instrument. The higher the sensitivity of the instrument, the better, because if the sensitivity is too high, the less stable the measurement, or even the less easy it is to measure, that is, the accuracy is poor. Therefore, on the premise of ensuring the accuracy of measurement, the sensitivity is not easy to be too high.
Precision of instrumentation:
The precision of instrumentation, also known as accuracy, generally refers to the small division value of the instrument. The smaller the value of the instrument, the higher the accuracy and the higher the sensitivity. For example, a temperature transmitter with a minimum division of 0.1°C is more sensitive and precise than a temperature transmitter with a minimum division of 0.2°C.
There are many technical parameters of instrumentation, some of which we have introduced in previous articles, and we will continue to explain them one by one in future articles about other professional and confusing concepts.
