The image above represents sensitivity drift. Two essential parameters are needed to calculate sensitivity drift: Drift of Higher Temperature (DT1) and Drift of Lower Temperature (DTo).
The formula for calculating sensitivity drift:
S.D = DT1Â – DTo
Where:
S.D = Sensitivity Drift
DT1Â = Drift at Higher Temperature
DTo = Drift at Lower Temperature
Let’s solve an example;
Find the sensitivity drift when the drift at higher temperature is 44 and the drift at lower temperature is 11.
This implies that;
DT1 = Drift at Higher Temperature = 44
DTo = Drift at Lower Temperature = 11
S.D = DT1Â – DTo
Then, S.D = 44 – 11
S.D = 33
Therefore, the sensitivity drift is 33.
Calculating for the Drift at Higher Temperature when the Sensitivity Drift and the Drift at Lower Temperature are Given
DT1 = S.D + DTo
Where;
DT1Â = Drift at Higher Temperature
S.D = Sensitivity Drift
DTo = Drift at Lower Temperature
Let’s solve an example;
Find the drift at higher temperature when the sensitivity drift is 20 and the drift at lower temperature is 18.

This implies that;
S.D = Sensitivity Drift = 20
DTo = Drift at Lower Temperature = 18
DT1 = S.D + DTo
So, DT1 = 20 + 18
DT1 = 38
Therefore, the drift at higher temperature is 38.

Calculating for the Drift at Lower Temperature when the Sensitivity Drift and the Drift at Higher Temperature are Given
DTo = DT1 – S.D
Where:
DTo = Drift at Lower Temperature
S.D = Sensitivity Drift
DT1 = Drift at Higher Temperature
Let’s solve an example;
Find the drift at lower temperature when the sensitivity drift is 10 and the drift at higher temperature is 45.
This implies that;
S.D = Sensitivity Drift = 10
DT1 = Drift at Higher Temperature = 45
DTo = DT1 – S.D
So, DTo = 45 – 10
DTo = 35
Therefore, the drift at lower temperature is 35.
