Dynamic Pressure Measurements And Calibration
(course PRE 501)

Overview for management and participants
  • Need for pressure measurements (dynamic vs. static) and calibration
  • Approximate scheduling so managers can audit special topics

Quiz for evaluation of attendee prior knowledge

Static pressure measurements

  • Introduction; terminology
  • Sensors
  • Readouts
  • Control
Classical sinusoidally varying pressure never observed in service, but a useful concept
  • Introduction: terminology
  • Sinusoidal pressure measurements: units, sensors, readouts, errors
    • Senses acceleration as well as pressure
    • Temperature effects
    • Distance to sensor
  • Calibration of sensors and systems; traceability to NIST

Most machinery pressures are complex; introduction to spectrum analysis

Interpretation of pressure measurement standards

Introduction to random pressure variations

  • Sources cavitation
  • No possible equivalence to sinusoidal pressure variations
  • Terminology and definitions
  • Spectral density measurement and analysis - the frequency domain
  • Probability density - the time domain

Pressure transients (gunfire)

Course summary; optional final examination; award of certificates
