  1. Pressure Measurements • Absolute, Gauge, and Differential • Barometers • Manometers • Low/High Level Analog Output • Calibration

  2. Pressure Ranges

  3. Ref. Press Absolute Pressure Pabs = 0 : When all molecular action stops. Pabs = Pgage+ Pambient Pabs – Pressure that is used in thermodynamics to determine the state of a substance. Pgage – It is the pressure relative to the local ambient air pressure Differential pressure – Diff. Pressure is simply the diff. In pressure between two points

  4. Differential Pressure P2 P1

  5. Manometerdifferential P1 P2 P2 – P1 = (m- s) g h m Density of manometer fluid s -Density of sensed fluid (P/ g) – height of fluid-(height of Hg) Density vs temperature Thermal expansion For gases, s is zero P1 A A h h P2 A
