Chapter 2 General Piston Pressure Gauge Considerations Types of Piston Pressure Gauges The piston pressure gauge is sometimes regarded as an absolute instrument because of the principle by which it measures pressure. An absolute instrument is defined here as one capable of measuring a quantity in the fundamental units of mass, length, time, etc. It may be suggested that only certain types of piston pressure gauges qualify in this category. Figures 2-1, 2-2, and 2-3 illustrate the three

RUSKA 2470 Users Manual SECONDARY PRESSURE PRESSURE IN glg45.eps Figure 2-3. Controlled Clearance Cylinder When the simple cylinder of 2-1 is subjected to an increase in pressure, the fluid, exerting a relatively large total force normal to the surface of confinement, expands the cylinder and thus increases its area. A pressure-drop appears across the cylinder wall near point A, resulting in an elastic dilation of the cylinder bore. It can be shown that the effective area of the piston

General Piston Pressure Gauge Considerations Calculations 2 Measurement of pressure with the piston pressure gauge is subject to uncertainties resulting from effects other than those of elastic distortion. But, it was appropriate that the subject of elastic distortion be discussed first, since this characteristic is largely responsible for the various designs that have been developed. Measurement processes proposed for high accuracy are disturbed by limitations in the performance of the

RUSKA 2470 Users Manual Elastic Distortion of the Cylinder As the pressure is increased within a piston pressure gauge, the resulting stress produces a temporary and reversible deformation of the cylinder. The net effect is a change in the effective area of the piston-cylinder combination. If the change in the area is a linear function of the applied pressure, the relationship may be described by the equation: 2 A = A() 1+ b P + b P e 0 1 2 Where: P is the nominal pressure A is the e

General Piston Pressure Gauge Considerations Measurement of Pressure with the Piston Pressure Gauge 2 Although the trend is swinging toward the use of true mass in favor of apparent mass, there is a small advantage in the use of the latter. When making calculations for air buoyancy from values of apparent mass, it is unnecessary to know the density of the mass. If objects of different densities are included in the calculation, it is not necessary to distinguish the difference in the calc

RUSKA 2470 Users Manual It is common practice to associate this position directly with the piston as the datum to which all measurements made with the piston are referenced. It is called the reference plane of measurement, and its location is determined from the dimensions of the piston. If the submerged portion of the piston is of uniform cross section, the reference plane is found to lie conveniently at the lower extremity as shown in 2-4. If, however, the portion of the piston submerg

RUSKA 2470 Users Manual For good work, a piston pressure gauge should be provided with an index mark for associating the reference of the piston with other planes of interest within a system. The design of this index will vary with the design and manufacture of the instrument, it may be in the form or an index rod with scribed lines on it, an index groove on the column of the instrument, or, other type of fixed indicator. Not only does the mark serve to establish fixed values of pressure
