The Units of Pressure
• Pressure is “force per unit area”
• Common units for pressure include: For instrumentation/control: 3 to 15 psi is a
common pressure range
 Pounds per Square Inch (psi)
3 psi ≈ 21 kPa
 Square Meters 15 psi ≈ 105 kPa

EL
 Newton/m2 (=Pa) : SI unit
 KiloPascals (kPa)

PT
• Other units: 1 Pa = 1Newton/m2 = 1kg-m/s2 = 10 dynes/cm2

N
1 atm = 1.01325 bars
 Inches (or mm) of water (or Hg)
= 75.97 cm of Hg
 Bar
=29.92 in Hg = 10322 kg/m2
 Atmosphere (1 atm = 760 mm Hg)
 Torr (1 mm of Hg)

Gage, Absolute and Atmospheric Pressures
• Pressure above atmosphere
is called (positive) gage
pressure (psig)
• Pressure below atmosphere

EL
is a vacuum (negative gage
pressure)

PT
• Absolute pressure (psia) is

N
measured from a perfect
vacuum

Note: Differential Pressure has no reference to either absolute vacuum or atmospheric pressure

4
Static/Dynamic/Impact Pressure
Static pressure is the pressure of fluids
or gases that are stationary (Point: A)

Dynamic pressure is the pressure

EL
exerted by a fluid or gas when it
impacts on a surface or an object due

PT
to its motion or flow (Point: B − A)

N
Impact pressure (total pressure) is the
sum of the static and dynamic pressures
on a surface or object (Point: B)

5
Pressure Measurement: Classification-I
We can easily convert pressure to force. A force can then be measured by
balancing it against a known/standard force.
Pressure can be measured by:
balancing against a column of liquid of know density:
Various manometers

EL
balancing against a known force:

PT
Piston type, Ring balance, Bell type gage
balancing the force produced on a known area against the stress in an

N
elastic medium:

Barometer
The simplest mercury barometer consists of a long glass tube of
uniform cross-section with one end sealed. It is filled with
mercury and then inverted and placed vertically in a reservoir
of mercury.

EL
Mercury in the tube will adjust itself until the weight of the
mercury column balances the atmospheric force exerted on the

PT
reservoir. The mercury in the tube will have a vacuum above it.

N
The height of the mercury indicates the atmospheric pressure.
At sea level, this height of mercury column is 76 cm (30 inches)
i.e., 1.033 kg/cm2 (14.7 psi).

11
U-tube Manometer
It consist of U-shaped glass tubes partially filled with a
liquid known as manometer liquid. P1 P2

When two sides are connected to two different pressure


sources, the liquid rises higher in the lower pressure

EL
h
side, so that the difference in the heights of the two

PT
columns of liquid compensates for the difference in
pressure. P1 > P2

N
A scale graduated in pressure units is attached to read h. P1 - P2 = ρgh

Source of error: difficult to read the meniscus level.

12
Manometers
• Manometers can be used to measure gage pressure, differential pressure, and
absolute pressure

14
Well-Type Manometers
• In a well-type manometer, one leg is replaced by a large diameter well.
Since the cross-sectional area of the well is much larger than the other leg,
when pressure is applied to the well, the manometer liquid in the well
lowers only slightly compared to the liquid rise in the other leg.

EL
PT
• As a result of this, the pressure difference can be indicated only by the
height of the liquid column in one leg.

N
• This makes the instrument easier to use than the U-tube manometer.

15
Well-Type Manometers

If the area of well is 500 or more times larger than the area of
vertical leg, the error involved in neglecting the area term is

16
Inclined-Tube Manometers

The inclined manometer or draft gauge is a variation on the well-type manometer


in which one leg of the tube is inclined to increase measurement sensitivity.

EL
Inclined manometers can measure low pressures. The low pressure arm is

PT
inclined, so that the fluid has a longer distance to travel than in a vertical tube

N
for the same pressure change. This gives a magnified scale and thus increases
sensitivity of the manometer.

Ring Balance Manometer
Split and Sealed P1
• A tube bent into a ring is supported at the center by

Bourdon Tubes
Inventer: Eugene Bourdon(France, 1849)
Bourdon tube pressure gages find wide
range of application. It provides consistent,

EL
inexpensive measurement of static

PT
pressure in industries and laboratories.

N
It usually measures gage pressure of both
gaseous and liquid fluids.

3
Bourdon Tubes
• The C shaped Bourdon tube has a hollow, elliptical cross section. It is
closed at one end and the fluid pressure is applied at the other end.
• When pressure is applied, its cross section becomes more circular, causing
the tube to straighten out until the force of the fluid pressure is balanced

EL
by the elastic resistance of the tube material.

PT
• Since the open end of the tube is fixed, changes
in pressure move the closed end.

N
4
Bourdon Tubes
• A pointer is attached to the closed end of the tube
through a linkage arm and a gear and pinion
assembly, which rotates the pointer around a
graduated scale.

EL
• A hair spring is used to fasten the spindle of the
frame of the instrument to provide necessary tension

PT
for proper meshing of the gear teeth and thereby

N
freeing the system from the backlash.
• The deflection can also be measured by a
displacement transducer such as
LVDT/Potentiometer/Capacitive type etc.

• Radius = 25 mm, Tube wall thickness = 0.254 to1.27 mm
• Maximum displacement travel = 4 mm

EL
• Error = 1% full-scale deflection

PT
• Typical range: 0.1 MPa to 700 MPa

To increase sensitivity, Bourdon tube elements can
be extended into spirals or helical coils. This increases
their effective angular length and therefore increases the
movement at their tip, which in turn increases the

EL
sensitivity and resolution of the Bourdon tube. Spiral

PT
N
These both give a much greater
deflection at the free end for a
given applied pressure.

Bourdon Tubes
• However, this increased measurement performance is gained
at the expense of a substantial increase in manufacturing
difficulty and cost compared with C-type tubes, and is also

EL
associated with a large decrease in the maximum pressure
that can be measured. In other words, range of instrument is

EL

N
11
Bourdon Tubes: Temperature Compensation
Ambient temperature will affect the reading of a metallic elastic pressure element, such as a
Bourdon tube, bellows or diaphragm. Modulus of elasticity decreases with increase in
temperature. Thus under a constant input pressure, as the ambient temperature increases,
the element will deflect more resulting in erroneous readings.

upon the Bourdon tube, a bimetallic link can be incorporated into the

N
movement.

Note that the temperature compensation option is designed to compensate for


ambient temperature only, not the temperature of the process medium.

12
Bourdon Tubes: A Note About Calibration
• Usually, air is used to calibrate a Bourdon tube during manufacture
and the pointer of Bourdon tubes is normally set at zero when no
pressure is applied.
• If a different fluid (particularly a liquid) is subsequently used with a

EL
Bourdon tube, the fluid in the tube will cause a non-zero deflection

PT
according to its weight compared with air, resulting in a reading
error of up to 6%.

N
• This can be avoided by calibrating the Bourdon tube with the fluid
to be measured (instead of using air).

N
2
Elastic Pressure Transducer: Bellows Pressure Gauge
• A bellows element is a one piece expansible, collapsible, and axially flexible
member. Bellows are essentially thin walled cylindrical shells with deep
convolutions and are sealed at one end. The sealed end will undergo axial
displacement when pressure is applied at the open end.

EL
PT
• Bellows are made of materials with good elastic property such as: brass,

N
phosphor bronze, beryllium copper etc. Stainless steel (not highly elastic) is
also sometimes used for its anti-corrosive property. Carbon steel is easily
corroded and difficult to machine.

3
Bellows Pressure Gauge
• Bellows are used for measuring
lower pressures.
• Nominal range: 5 in of water to

EL

• Spring can be used to

PT
determine the range.

usually with concentric
corrugations. A diaphragm
converts pressure to deflection.

PT
designed so that the
deflection-versus-pressure

N
relationship is linear or nearly
linear over a specified
pressure range

6
Elastic Pressure Transducer: Diaphragm Pressure
Gauge
• Diaphragm pressure gages are based on the deflection of a flexible membrane
that separates regions of different pressures.

EL
• The deformation of a thin diaphragm is dependent on the difference in

PT
pressure between its two faces.

N
• The amount of deflection is repeatable for known pressures, so the pressure
can be determined by using suitable calibration.

7
Diaphragm Pressure Gauge
• Two types: Metallic diaphragm and Non-metallic diaphragm
• A metal-diaphragm pressure gage uses a thin flexible diaphragm of materials
like brass , phosphor bronze, beryllium copper, Monel, Hastelloy, Ni Span C,
titanium, tantalum, stainless steel, etc.

EL
• The force of the pressure against the effective area of the diaphragm causes a

PT
deflection of the diaphragm. The motion of diaphragm is a measure of
pressure and the motion of diaphragm operates an indicating or recording

N
type instrument.
• Diaphragm can also be made of nonmetallic elements: rubber, plastic, leather.

8
Diaphragm Pressure Gauge
• Diaphragm gauges are typically spring-loaded so that the range and sensitivity
can be varied.
• Diaphragm element can measure both absolute and differential pressures.

Diaphragm Pressure Gauge
• An approximate relation between the pressure differential (P2-P1) and the
normalized deflection of the diaphragm at the center is given by:

Diaphragm Capsule

periphery

• The sensitivity of the pressure gage can be increased

EL
by cascading several capsules

PT
• When a pressure is applied to the capsule assembly

N
by an Differential Pressure inlet pipe passing through
the center of all the capsules, the deflection of the
gage will be the sum of the individual capsules
