The Influence of Temperature and Humidity on the Creep of Torque Transducers
K. M. Khaled, D. Röske
Abstract:
This paper presents a study of the effect of temperature and relative humidity on the so-called short-term creep over 3 minutes as well as on the creep over 30 minutes using different torque transducers. The creep values increase with increasing temperature while it is decreased for increasing relative humidity. Using a linear assumption for the creep value change due to temperature/relative humidity change, the relevant coefficients are presented. The 30 minutes creep test is recommended rather than the 3 minutes test.
