INDUSTRY SITE VISIT
1: To visit the oil company
Objective of 2: To observe the process of pressure measuring instruments
By optimizing their operations, companies can better ensure the safety of their employees, the
quality of their products, and the efficiency of their processes. Combined, this translates to
greater cost savings and compliance with environmental sustainability practices.
Methodology
When the pressure to be measured is applied to one side of the bellow (inner or outer layer),
the pressure results in the movement of the bellow. This linear movement of the bellow is then
transmitted to the linkage. The displacement is then indicated by the pointer that is in contact
with the linkage to display the accurate pressure measurement in the system.
Pressure compressor
In a compressor, pressure is generated by pumping
quantities of gas into a tank or other pressure vessel.
Progressively increasing the amount of gas in the
confined or fixed-volume space increases the
pressure. The effects of pressure exerted by a
confined gas result from the force acting on the
container walls. This force is caused by the rapid and
repeated bombardment from the enormous number
of molecules that are present in a given quantity of
gas.

TANK GAUGING
Many people like the advantages of using a
hydrostatic measurement to determine liquid levels in
tanks. These measurements are made with bubblers,
or for non-pressurized tanks with a direct head
technique. Manometers and mechanical gauges are
used in this application because of their simplicity of
installation and calibration and because of their high
accuracy at a low price.
