INTRODUCTION

Pressure means force per unit area, exerted by a


fluid on the surface of the container.
F
WHERE,
P=F/A
F - FORCE (in Newton)
A - AREA (in meter²)

Pressure is of two types-

STATIC PRESSURE
DYNAMIC PRESSURE
Pressure is of two types-

1- STATIC PRESSURE
2- DYNAMIC PRESSURE

STATIC PRESSURE- when the force in a system under


pressure is constant or static (i.e. unvarying), the
pressure is said to be static pressure.

DYNAMIC PRESSURE- If the force is varying, on the


other hand, the pressure is said to be dynamic pressure.
UNITS OF PRESSURE

1 atm = 14.7 Psi at sea level


= 101.3 Kilo Pascal
= 760 mm of Hg
= 10.3 m of water
= 1013 mili bar
1 Pascal = 1N/m2
1 Bar = 100 Pascal

Wet Meters (Manometers)
U-tube Manometer
 This manometer consist of U-
shaped tube in this manometric fluid
is filled.
 Water and mercury are used as a
manometric fluid.
 Advantage of using these fluid is
that mass density of these fluid can
be obtained easily and they do not
stick to the tube.
Since, P = ρgh
h = (P₁ - P₂)/ρg
P₁ - P₂ = ρgh

Where, ρ - mass density of fluid


g - gravity
P₁ - unknown pressure
P₂ - atmospheric pressure
The well type manometer is widely used
because of inconvenience; the reading of
only a single leg is required in it.
It consist of a very large-diameter vessel
(well) connected on one side to a very
small-sized tube.
Thus the zero level moves very little when
pressure is applied.
Inclined Tube Manometer
Force Summing Devices

The force summing devices are those which


converts the applied pressure into
displacements by primary transducers while
generated displacements may be measured by
secondary transducers.
The commonly used force summing devices
are-
1- DIAPHRAGM
2- BALLOWS
3- BOURDON TUBE
Diaphragm

Diaphragm are widely used for pressure (gauge


pressure), particularly in very low ranges. They
can detect a pressure differential even in the
range of 0 to 4mm.
The diaphragm can be in the form of Flat,
Corrugated and Capsules the choice depends on
the strength and amount of deflection required.
Diaphragm Gauge
BELLOWS
A bellows gauge contains an
elastic element that is a
convoluted unit that expands
and contracts axially with
change in pressure.
The pressure to be measured
can be applied to the outside or
inside of the bellows however,
in practice, most bellows
measuring devices have the
pressure applied to the outside
of the bellows.
BOURDON TUBE

An elastic transducer , that is


bourdon tube which is fixed and
open at one end to receive the
pressure which is to be measured.
The other end of the bourdon tube
is free and closed.
The bourdon tube is in a bent
form to look like a circular arc.
All the various form of bourdon
tube have the common feature
that they are constructed the tube
of non circular cross-section
