Static Pressure in Transmission Lines - Understanding the Differences

AI Thread Summary
Measuring static pressure from different points in a pipe can yield varying results due to factors like device tolerance and positioning. A difference of 300 pascals is relatively minor compared to standard atmospheric pressure, which is 101,325 pascals. The accuracy of pressure measurements can diminish near the limits of a device's range, affecting results. Applying Pascal's law can help clarify the expected pressure differences. Understanding these principles is crucial for accurate pressure measurement in transmission lines.

Homework Statement


Is there any difference if I measure static pressure value from the down side of the pipe or up side of the pipe? I am getting an error just small as 300 pascal when I do zero measurement.
Here I draw the system also. The diameter of pipe is 10 cm. What could be the possible ideas to create 300 pascal differences?

Tranmission lines?
Air bubble?

It depends on what sort of tolerance your pressure measuring device is capable of obtaining.

A pressure of 300 pascals is nothing. Standard atmospheric pressure is 101,325 pascals.

Of course. You've actually measured less than you should expect..Apply pascals law.
I assume this measurement is near the bottom of the range of your device? The data sheet will likely state accuracy is poorer near the upper and lower limits of your devices range.
