Study Notes
Introduction
- Inaccurate pressure measurement can lead to disasters
Pressure Definition
- Pressure is defined as the normal force per unit area exerted by a fluid on a surface
- P=F/A, where P - Pressure, F - Normal force, A - Area
Types of Pressure
- Two types of pressures exist: Static and Dynamic
- Static Pressure: force is constant in time
- Dynamic Pressure: force is varying in time
Static Pressure Measurement
- Static pressure measurements include: Absolute, Gauge, and Differential Pressure
- Pabs = Patm + Pg, where Pabs - Absolute pressure, Patm - Atmospheric pressure, Pg - Gauge pressure
Static Pressure Measurement Methods
- Manometers are used to measure static pressures
- Manometers can be classified as the following:
- Simple U-tube Manometer
- Industrial U-Tube Manometer
- Cistern Manometer
- Two-liquid U-Tube Manometer
- Inclined Manometer
- The ring balance
- Diaphragms and bellows: Single diaphragm, diaphragm stack, metallic capsule, metallic bellows
The Simple U-tube Manometer
- Consists of a U-shaped glass tube containing liquid
- Two liquid U-tube manometer: p1 - p2 = g h 𝜌2 - 𝜌1
Applications of Two-liquid U-tube manometer
- Measurement of Small Pressure Differences in Low-Pressure Systems: used in labs, research settings, air measurement systems to measure small pressure differences
- Gas and Airflow Measurement in HVAC Systems: used for monitoring airflow in ventilation ducts and filters, provides precision
- Differential Pressure Measurement for Low-Density Gases: used in fuel cells, controlled gas supply systems to measure differential pressures in gases with low density
- Industrial Processes Requiring High Sensitivity: used in chemical and pharmaceutical industries where sensitive reactions or materials are used
The Ring Balance Manometer
- P1 = P2, P1 > P2
- When there is a pressure difference, a rotating moment is setup
The Inclined Tube Manometer
- Increase in accuracy due to the increased length of the scale
- p1 - p2 = 𝜌𝑔 ℎ1 + ℎ
- ℎ = 𝑑 sin 𝛼
- ℎ1 = 𝐴2/𝐴1 ⋅𝑑
- p1 - p2 = 𝜌𝑔𝑑 𝐴2/𝐴1 + sin 𝛼
- If A1>>A2: p1 - p2 = 𝜌𝑔𝑑 ⋅ sin 𝛼 = 𝜌𝑔ℎ
- Sensitivity of the inclined tube manometer is given by: 𝑆𝑖𝑛𝑐. = 𝑑/ℎ.
Metallic Capsule
- Used in capsule gauges
- Common shapes of diaphragms: Dished, Flat, and c
