Most engineers understand the concept of pressure. It’s a force, often measured in pounds, on a specific area. It is commonly listed in pounds per square inch (psi). But there are a variety of ...

Pressure is the amount of force applied per unit area. Pressure can be measured by a pressure gauge, but it is important to know the type of pressure the gauge is reading. This article will cover the ...

The metrology revolution is gathering pace. Hot on the heels of an overhaul of the most fundamental ‘base’ units of measure in the International System of Units (SI) last month, some metrologists are ...

Notice how all the compound units have one thing in common: they are all per square inch or /m 2 or /cm 2. All are saying "per unit area" and so the calculation will always involve dividing by the ...

Technicians new to static pressure measurement often wrestle with frustration and doubt as they learn this new skill. Two of the most common issues are uncertainty about pressure measurement results ...

The flow of all fluids, whether liquid or gas, will have one of three states: laminar, turbulent, and transitional. This article discusses flow principles and pressure-based flow measurement. Laminar ...

There are essentially four different types of pressure measurement transmitters. Absolute pressure transmitters measure against a vacuum, meaning that if no pressure is applied, the reading would ...
