Absolute Pressure Measurement

• In the experiment, the formula to obtain the aboslute pressure is

Pabs = P0 + (h + hm) ρ ⋅ g
• The gauge pressure is measured with an opened vent valve

hm -between the
measurement point and
the zero point of the
pressure gauge

h- pressure difference
from the measure point
Pressure gauge connection and operation
• In the experiment, connect pressure gauge to the desired
measurement points by way of hoses with rapid action couplings
featuring automatic shut-off

• Open ball cock in the drain.

• Switch on the fluid friction apparatus
