The object of research is multiple measurements. The research aims to improve the accuracy of multiple measurements with a non-linear and unstable sensor transformation function. It is proved that the redundant measurement equation ensures the independence of the measurement result from the parameters of the transformation function and their deviations from the nominal values. It was found that the result of redundant measurements is affected by the reproduction errors of normalized temperatures T1 and T2. It is shown that the best accuracy results are obtained with a reproduction error of normalized temperature T2 within ±1.0 % and temperature T1 within ±0.1 %. This makes it possible to reduce the accuracy requirements for the source of reproduction of normalized temperature Т2.
The possibility of processing the results of multiple measurements by two approaches is presented. Computer modeling using the first approach found that with a reproduction error of normalized temperature T2 within ±0.5 %, the relative measurement error is 0.003 %. When modeling the second approach, the relative error is 0.05 %. It was also found that with an increase in the reproduction error of normalized temperature T2 to ±1.0 %, the value of the relative error is 0.04 %. Due to this, when applying the second approach, it becomes possible to choose a non-high-precision source of reproduction of normalized temperature T2. In addition, the sensitivity of the second approach to the digit range of measuring devices was found, which leads to the dependence of the measurement result on their accuracy.
There are reasons to assert the possibility of increasing the accuracy of multiple measurements by processing the results of intermediate measurements according to redundant measurement equations using two approaches
