Suppose that a standard bourdon tube pressure gauge has a scale of 0 to 1000 psig. If the accuracy of the gauge is plus or minus .5% of the span, what would the range of measured pressure be if the gauge indicates 690 psig? |
A) 640 to 740 psig |
B) 680 to 700 psig |
C) 685 to 695 psig |
D) 686.55 to 693.45 psig |

Answer is 685 to 695, 0.5% = 0.005, 0.005 * 1000(total span) = 5, +/- 690 is 685-690 |

It is actually C, because it is looking at the .5% from the span (1000 psig) |

Answer should be D) 686.55 to 693.45 as we are referring/basing to 690 PSIG and not the 1000 psig range of the gauge. correct me if am wrong. |

Ah, yes. I re-read the question (the problem was my reading comprehension. Not the problem.) Thanks, Shawn. |

.005 * 1,000 = 5.. So +/- 5 from 690? That's my guess, but I'm not an engineer. |

.5% = .005, so the Answer should be D) 636.55 to 693.45 Unless I read wrong? |
