Pressure Measurements

This course covers the comprehensive understanding of pressure measurement techniques in fluid mechanics. It starts with the basics of pressure, its types (absolute and gauge), and their significance in various applications. For instance, the course explains the concept of dynamic response consideration, a crucial aspect of pressure measurement. It also addresses the challenges in measuring absolute pressure and the common use of gauge pressure in fluid dynamics applications. The course further explores the principles and techniques of pressure measurement, focusing on U-tube manometer and inclined well type manometer. It concludes with an in-depth understanding of the aneroid barometer, diaphragm gauge, and bellow gauge, emphasizing the importance of temperature and latitude correction in pressure measurements.
