Mechancal Pressure Gauges - Deadweght gauges: Hgh accuracy Usually used for the calbraton of other nstruments Alcaton range : 0~08 a weght lunger cylnder um Uncertanty s wthn 0.0% ~0.05% of the readng Calbraton ressure P Flud chamber
Mechancal Pressure Gauges - Elastc-element gauges: Contan an elastc elements that deforms under ressure and creates a lnear or angular dslacement The dslacement s ether dslayed on a dal by means of urely mechancal lnkages or transformed to an electrc sgnal that can be dslayed or recorder at wll. They usually used for montorng suly ressure Cross sectonal shae Curved Bourdon tube Twsted Bourdon tueb
Electrcal Pressure transducers These devces rovdes an electrc outut sgnal that s lnearly or nonlnearly deendent on the absolute ressure or a ressure dfference. They can be categorzed as: Molecular transducers: Aled ressure or force roduces a change (on the molecular level) of a electrcal roerty of materal. Pezo-electrc electrc materal such as quartz crystal: change n nternal dole moments of the molecules of the crystal when the ressure or force s aled. Parametrcal transducers: The gross electrcal arameter (resstance, nductance, caactance) of an assocate electrcal arameter s altered by aled force. Varable-caactance transducer E

Measurement Uncertantes Accuracy s generally used to ndcate the relatve closeness of agreement between an exermentally-determned value of a quantty and ts true value. Error s the dfference between the exermentally-determned value and ts true value; therefore, as error decreases, accuracy s sad to ncrease. Snce the true value s not known, t s necessary to estmate error, e and that estmate s called an uncertanty, U. Uncertanty estmates are made at some confdence level a a 95% confdence estmate, for examle, means that the true value of the quantty s exected to be wthn the ±U U nterval about the exermentally-determned value 95 tmes out of 00. A error A measured A true E A m A true Whch Case s more accurate measurement? V 0m / s, Measurement error ΔV m / s V t t 00m / s, Measurement error ΔV 5m / s E relatve A A error true
Measurement Uncertantes Total error, U,, can be consdered to be comosed of two comonents: a random (recson) comonent, a systematc (bas) comonent, We usually don t t know these exactly, so we estmate them wth P and B, resectvely. U B + P Reeatablty Reroducblty Precson Error Both Bas and Precson Errors Bas error True value X00 recson error measured value X0 X
Measurement Uncertantes We almost always are dealng wth a data reducton equaton to get g to our fnal results. In ths case, we must not only deal wth uncertanty n the measured values but uncertanty n the fnal results. A general form looks lke ths: ( X X, X, ) R R,, 3 K X J R s the result determned from J ndeendent varables.
