This experiment aimed to evaluate and study pressure measurement using an absolute pressure transmitter, gauge pressure transmitter, and pressure gauge, and to check the calibration of these instruments using a hand pump, vacuum pump, manometer, and multimeter. A hand held terminal was used to configure and calibrate the transmitters. The experiment measured pressure at different levels from 0 to 30 psig using these instruments to evaluate their accuracy in measuring pressure and the degree of agreement between their readings.

SUMMARY This experiment was about pressure measurement and calibration system. The purpose for this experiment is to evaluate and study measurement of pressure. Pressure is defined as normal force exerted by a fluid per unit area (gas & liquid). There is several type of component that can be used to measure pressure.in this experiment, it is using Hand Pump (AMETEK MODEL T-740), Vacuum Pump (AMETEK MODEL T-750), Manometer (AMETEK JOFRA CPC-200 INDG) AND Multi-meter (GW MODEL GDM-391A). While Hand Held Terminal (ABB MODEL 691HT) is to calibrate PT1 and PT2. This experiment was run for 7 time at different level of pressure which is 0 psig, 5 psig, 10 psig, 15 psig, 20 psig, 25 psig and lastly 30 psig. Most pressure-measuring devices are calibrated to read zero in the atmosphere, and therefore it indicate gage pressure, Pgage = Pabs - Patm. The reading of, the gauge pressure is obtained from Pressure Gauge (PG), manometer, and control panel. Based on this experiment, all devices show close measurement. The most deviation is less than 1. All devices can use to measure pressure but the range is around 0.95.
QUESTIONS
1.
State whether the pressure is higher/lower/equal at the bottom of a tank filled with a gas than at the top.
The pressure that a fluid exerts on the bottom of its container is equal to dgh, where d is density, g the acceleration due to gravity, and h the depth of the container. For any portion of the fluid, h is equal to its depth within the container, meaning that the deeper one goes, the greater the pressure.
2.
Differentiate absolute pressure and gauge pressure.
Absolute pressure
Measured relative to the absolute zero pressure - the pressure that would occur at absolute vacuum. All calculation involving the gas laws requires pressure (and
temperature) to be in absolute units.
Zero-referenced against a perfect vacuum, so it is equal to gauge pressure plus atmospheric pressure.
Gauge pressure
A gauge is often used to measure the pressure difference between a system and the surrounding atmosphere. This pressure is often called the gauge pressure. Therefore Gauge pressure is measured from atmospheric and absolute is measured
from 0 (as all absolute scales are measured from).
Zero-referenced against ambient air pressure, so it is equal to absolute pressure minus atmospheric pressure. Negative signs are usually omitted
3.
If the contents of a tank holding 20m3 of gas are transferred to a tank with twice as much volume and all other factors remain unchanged, what will happen to gas pressure?
4.
If the volume of the tank increases, force exerted by the gas decreased.
If the gas in a tank heated and all other factors remain unchanged, what will happen to the gas pressure?
If a gas is heated and the volume remains the same, the pressure will increase. The pressure of a gas of fixed mass and fixed volume is directly proportional to the gas's absolute temperature.
5. What is the pressure measuring instrument used in this plant?
Manometer
A manometer employs a column of liquid, which is forced upward to a height
where it balances the pressure being measured. The pressure exerted by the liquid column depends on it height and the density of the liquid.
6. Discuss briefly the possible errors affecting the accuracy in pressure measurement as observed in the experiment.
The possible errors affecting the accuracy in pressure measurement as observed in
this experiment is when the instrument are not in good condition. Making repeated measurements of a single item is a powerful, but limited, technique. It is extremely helpful in cases where the measurement is challenging to make, such as in the case of observing and recording the exact instant when a liquid is completely evaporated. In these cases, averaging several measurements helps eliminate measurement error.
