About Stress Relief and Temperature Calibration for Pressure Sensors
Pressure sensor stress relief and temperature calibration are key steps in ensuring accuracy and long-term stability. Below is a brief overview of both:

1. Stress Relief (Pressure Sensors)
Mechanical stress may occur during the manufacturing and usage of pressure sensors (e.g., welding, assembly, temperature changes). This stress can cause zero-point drift or sensitivity changes. Therefore, stress relief is typically carried out in the following scenarios:
• Heat Treatment: Heating the sensor to release internal residual stress, preventing subsequent drift in readings due to stress changes during use.
• Mechanical Processing: Sometimes, stress is released through vibration or other physical methods.
• Aging Tests: Applying a certain pressure and temperature over an extended period to allow the sensor to stabilize and release potential stress.
2. Temperature Calibration (Pressure Sensors)
Temperature significantly affects the performance of pressure sensors, especially in high-precision applications. The goal of temperature calibration is to compensate for pressure measurement errors caused by temperature changes, typically including the following steps:
• Multi-Point Calibration: Testing the sensor at multiple temperature points and recording the sensor output at each temperature.
• Temperature Compensation: Using known relationships between temperature and pressure to apply mathematical models or algorithms to compensate for sensor output, ensuring consistency across different temperatures.(Pressure Sensors)
• Dynamic Temperature Testing: Simulating the sensor’s performance in rapidly changing temperature environments to ensure stability during quick temperature changes.
Summary
• Stress Relief: Reducing internal stress through heat treatment, mechanical processing, and aging tests to prevent later drift.
• Temperature Calibration: Testing and compensating under different temperature conditions to ensure accuracy across a range of temperatures.
