PRESSURE • Pressure is defined as the amount of force
applied to a surface or distributed over the surface.
• For a fluid at rest, pressure can be defined as the force exerted perpendicularly by the fluid on a unit area of any bounding surface.
• Pressure is defined as force per unit area. • It is usually more convenient to use pressure
rather than force to describe the influences upon fluid behavior.
• The standard unit for pressure is the Pascal, (Newton per square meter)

For an object sitting on a surface, the force pressing on the surface is the weight of the object, but in different orientations it might have a different area in contact with the surface and therefore exert a different pressure

Units of Pressure • For high pressure:
– Pascal Newton per square meter Kg m/s2
– Atmospheric pressure (1 atm) = 14.696 psi = 101.325 kPa
– PSI (Pounds per square inch)
• 1 PSI = 0.0703 Kg /cm2 1 Kg /cm2 = 14.696 psi
• For low pressure
– 1 BAR = 1.03 Kg /cm2
– 1 millibar = 14.5 x 10^-3 psi
– 1 torr = 1 mm of Hg = 19.34 x 10^-3 psi = 1000 microns

Types of pressure
• Gauge pressure (Pg): – The indication of pressure as 0 psi (0 point indication) at surface
of liquid even though the pressure is 14.7 psi actually. – Unit: psig (pounds per square inch gauge) – Pg = Pabs - Patm
• Absolute pressure (Pabs) 14.7 psi: – Actual total pressure acting on surface of a liquid. – Unit: psia (pounds per square inch absolute)
• Vacuum or differential pressure: – Pressure below zero
• Atmospheric pressure (Patm): – Pressure due to surrounding air at earth surface
Pabs = Patm + Pg

Micro manometer • For measurement of extremely small pressure
• Flexible
• Before applying pressure, the meniscus of inclined tube is adjusted to reference level using maginifier (P1 = P2)
• When Pressure is applied, P1 ≠ P2, so micrometer is adjusted so that P1 = P2.
• The micro meter difference gives differential pressure
• Accuracy = ±10^-2 to ± 10^-3 mm of Hg

Errors in manometer
• Temperature effect: Temperature ↑ Density↓
• Capillary effect: dia of tube is increased (over 10 mm dia), is neglected when same manometeric fluid is used
• Variable meniscus effect:
Meniscus – cresent shaped top surface of liquid
Convex – due to high surface tension of mercury
Concave - due to low surface tension of mercury
Always read the center of meniscus of liquid.

Adjustments of Bourdon Tube
• Multiplication adjustment:
– Due to stress developed in bourdon tube, actual tip travel is non-linear in nature. The small linear tip movement is matched with rotational pointer movement, is called as multiplication, that can be adjusted by length of lever.
– Shorter lever gives larger rotation for the same amount of tip travel.

DIAPHRAGM • Principle: the force (applied pressure) acts
against the thin stretched diaphragm that causes a deflection, which is proportional to applied pressure.
• Diaphragm center deflects the most.
• The deflection of diaphragm is restricted to less than 1/3 of its thickness.
• Gauge types: – Metallic diaphragm gauge
– Slack diaphragm gauge

METALLIC DIAPHRAGM GAUGE
• Portable, works in any position.
• Used mostly in aircrafts.
• the force (applied pressure) acts against the thin stretched diaphragm that causes a deflection, which is proportional to applied pressure.

METALLIC DIAPHRAGM GAUGE
• Corrugated diaphragm increases the strength of capsule member and gives linear deflection.
• Total amount of deflection: (d)
d = KN (P1 – P2)Dn tm K- constant of shell material & desigh
N – no. of capsules
D – capsule diameter
t – shell thickness

SLACK DIAPHRAGM GAUGE
• A diaphragm with large change in force from small change in pressure. Similarly making the diaphragm slack (loose) rather than tight allows it to move a large distance in response to small pressure change.
• Made of rubber.
• Pressure range: 0.01 – 0.40 mm Hg
• Accuracy: 1 – 2 %

ELECTRICAL METHODS FOR PRESSURE MEASUREMENT
• Movement of pressure sensor is converted in electrical signals
• “Mechanical motion is converted into change in electrical resistance and then change in resistance is converted into electric current or voltage”.
• Methods: – Elastic elements with strain gauges
– Diaphragm with strain gauges
– Elastic elements with LVDT 5/2/2014

• Electrical pressure sensors consist of
– Primary sensing element (Bourdon tube, Bellow, Diaghragm)
– Primary conversion element (resistance)
– Secondary conversion element
• Elastic elements: Bourdon tube, Bellow, Diaghragm

ELASTIC ELEMENTS WITH STRAIN GAUGES
• Principle: Due to mechanical stress (stretched or compressed), the resistance of strain gauge will change which is measured using wheatstone bridge.
• The measured output voltage is proportional to applied pressure.
