or

∆s = GfN / 500

E.5 Example Error Calculation: DGSI Piezometer

52611099

For Durham Geo Slope Indicator piezometer 52611099, when using gage
factors A, B, and C, the formula for pressure, P, derived from frequency is
given as:

P = Af

2

+ Bf + C

The resulting noise (effective resolution) formula is then:

∆P = (2Af + B)N

or

∆P = 2AfN + BN
