How Do You Define A Load Cell Error Budget?

October 24, 2024

Interface tech talk answers why a load cell error budget matters. An error budget quantifies every factor that can cause the load cell's output to deviate from the true weight or force being measured. A defined error budget is the maximum time a technical system can fail without service-level consequences. In force tests and measurements, it is sometimes called an uncertainty budget. An error is the difference between the measured value and the true value.
