Introduction
The calibration pressure is to be measured with a Bourdon tube in this
experiment. The dead weights tester is assumed to have calibrated the gauge and
the piston, which forms the basis of this experiment.
Methodology
Arrange the device on a flat surface.
• Pour water into the cylinder and tilt the device to release any air that
may have been trapped in the clear tube.
• Record the pressure gauge reading after adding weight (mass) to the
weight platform in around 5.2 kg increments.
• Take note of the equivalent pressure reading and remove the mass in
the opposite order that you added it.
Compile your records into a table.
• For every mass, determine the actual pressure (Pc) using equation (1).
• Plot the graph showing the difference between the actual pressure
(Pc) and gauge pressures (Pg).
• 335 mm^2 is the piston's area of action.
The Mass of Piston = 1 kg.

Introduction
Methodology
Arrange the equipment on a level surface.
• Before attaching the syringe to the pressure sockets on the device, completely
extend it.
• Verify that the syringe's nozzle is securely attached.
• To establish a pressure gauge, slowly move the syringe in stages of 50 mm H2O.
• Calculate the manometer's difference (Δh) between two levels for both vertical
and sloping surfaces.
• Determine the actual pressure for the vertical and inclined surfaces using
equation (1).
• Add all of your records to a table.
• Draw a graph showing the difference between the gauge pressure (Pg) and the
actual pressure (Pm).

50g of tiny mass should be added to the weight hanger. - Fill the tank with water
by pouring it through the triangle-shaped opening next to the pivot point using
the jug. Give the water in the tank some time to settle. - Add water until the
balancing arm rises as a result of the hydrostatic thrust on the quadrant's end
face. - Keep adding water. The depth (d) of immersion can be obtained from the
scale on the quadrant's face by lining up the base of the balance arm with either
the top or bottom of the central marker on the balance rest to determine if the
arm is horizontal. - For each load increment, repeat the preceding process, adding
a new weight to the weight hanger each time. Examine the depth
