Pressure Measurement Bench
Description of Pressure Measurement Bench
- The
apparatus has been designed to allow the suction pressure or delivery
pressure of a diaphragm pump to be measured on sloping or vertical
manometers and Bourdon gauges, for comparison; and to investigate the
calibration and internal workings of a Bourdon gauge.
- The
apparatus comprises of two units: the manometer and gauge assembly and
the calibration of a pressure gauge assembly. The internal mechanism of
the gauge is clearly visible through the transparent dial. During test,
calibration weights are placed onto the loading platform, which is an
integral part of the piston assembly. All air is expelled from the
system through a purge hole in the upper part of the cylinder
