How to Calculate and Solve for Transducer Sensitivity | Instrumentation

The image above represents transducer sensitivity. To calculate transducer sensitivity, two essential parameters are needed, and these parameters are Output Signal Increment (ΔSo) and Measured Increment (ΔM).

The formula for calculating transducer sensitivity:

cT = ΔSo / ΔM

Where:

cT = Transducer Sensitivity
ΔSo = Output Signal Increment
ΔM = Measured Increment

Let’s solve an example;
Find the transducer sensitivity when the output signal increment is 24 and the measured increment is 12.

This implies that;

ΔSo = Output Signal Increment = 24
ΔM = Measured Increment = 12

So, cT = ΔSo / ΔM
cT = 24 / 12
cT = 2

Therefore, the transducer sensitivity is 2.

Calculating for Output Signal Increment when the Transducer Sensitivity and the Measured Increment are Given

ΔSo = cT x ΔM

Where;

ΔSo = Output Signal Increment
cT = Transducer Sensitivity
ΔM = Measured Increment

Let’s solve an example;
Find the output signal increment when the transducer sensitivity is 20 and the measured increment is 8.

This implies that;

cT = Transducer Sensitivity = 20
ΔM = Measured Increment = 8

ΔSo = cT x ΔM
That is, ΔSo = 20 x 8
ΔSo = 160

Therefore, the output signal increment is 160.

Calculating for Measured Increment when the Transducer Sensitivity and the Output Signal Increment are Given

ΔM = ΔSo / cT

Where;

ΔM = Measured Increment
cT = Transducer Sensitivity
ΔSo = Output Signal Increment

Let’s solve an example;
Find the measured increment when the transducer sensitivity is 4 and the output signal increment is 48.

This implies that;

cT = Transducer Sensitivity = 4
ΔSo = Output Signal Increment = 48

ΔM = ΔSo / cT
That is, ΔM = 48 / 4
ΔM = 12

Therefore, the measured increment is 12.
