Instrument Range & Accuracy Selection

From process value to the right model: where your normal reading sits on the range (40–70 % FS is the golden band), the real error at that point — the %FS trap — and a use-based verdict (process control vs compliance) with the exact catalogue model to order. Built for wastewater online analysers in the tropics.

2Why %FS bites at the low end

For a %FS instrument the absolute error is constant across the whole span. Operating low on the range turns that fixed error into a large fraction of your reading.

Sources & parameter basis

[1]Sino Analyzer accuracy guide — golden rule (operate upper half / two-thirds of span) with the 0–500 vs 0–100 bar ±0.5%FS example (3.6 % vs 0.7 % relative).
[2]E+H / Jade Ant flow sizing — normal 40–70 %FS, min >10 %, max <90 %.
[3]Dataweek %FS vs %RD; LORRIC dual-region accuracy (>20 %FS %reading / <20 %FS floor); Merobix %span low-end amplification.
