EXAMPLE 9

A 20” – 100 m pipe is to be subjected to a hydrostatic test

at 15 bars. The pipe will be filled with water (bulk modulus
of elasticity = 20,000 bar). How many kilograms of water are
needed to perform the test?

EXAMPLE 12

What is the percentage change in fluid volume if its pressure

is to be raised from 1 bar to 100 bars, if:
a) The fluid is air and to be compressed isothermally?
b) The fluid is oil (K = 15,000 bar)?
