English term or phrase: influence quantity
Definition from evigem.org:
Quantity that is not the measurand but that affects the result of the measurement. EXAMPLES: a) temperature of a micrometer used to measure length; b) frequency in the measurement of the amplitude of an alternating electric potential difference.

Example sentence(s):
  • The effect of an influence quantity on the measurement process is an interference that generates a systematic error. In clinical chemistry, depending on the molecular entity responsible for an interference, influence quantities may be classified as endogenous or exogenous. Clinical Chemistry
  • This means that there has to be a specified relationship between the influence quantities and the measurand. This relationship is known as the mathematical model. This is an equation that describes how each influence quantity affects the value assigned to the measurand. labnews.co.uk
  • By using the measurement model built to approximately compute the sensitivity coefficient that reflects the uncertainty propagating law of each influence quantity, it is possible to evaluate the result of indirect measurement and its uncertainties. CAT.INIST

grandeur d'influence


Definition from Grand Dictionnaire terminologique:
Grandeur qui, sans être l'objet du mesurage, influe sur la valeur de la grandeur mesurée

Example sentence(s):
  • Grandeur autre que la grandeur mesurée mais qui a une influence sur le résultat de la mesure. Exemples : température lors de la mesure d’une longueur, d’un volume, d’une conductance ; concentration des ions alcalins lors de la mesure du pH ; pression lors de la mesure d’une température de changement d’état. - Expression des résultats de mesures uti  
  • On appelle grandeur d’influence, toutes les grandeurs physiques autres que la grandeur à mesurer, susceptibles de perturber la mesure. - Le portail de la technologie

Grandeur d'influence


Definition from IEC:
Grandeur différente de la grandeur de mesure mais ayant une influence sur elle.

Example sentence(s):
  • On appelle grandeur d'influence, toutes les grandeurs physiques autres que la grandeur à mesurer, susceptibles de perturber la mesure. - physiquesti.free.fr/Les%20capteurs  
  • La sensibilité aux grandeurs d'influence est définie comme la dérivée partielle de la sortie du capteur par rapport à des grandeurs qui l'affectent de manière parasite. La température est une grandeur d'influence qui affecte souvent le fonctionnement de capteurs destinés à mesurer une autre grandeur physique. - Université catholique de Louvain  
  • Les grandeurs d'influence sont des grandeurs étrangères qui, selon leur nature et leur importance, peuvent provoquer des perturbations sur les capteurs. C'est donc une cause d'erreurs agissant sur le signal de sortie . - geea.org
