Printed in the United States of America IV Foreword For more than fifty years WIKA has been a leading manufacturer of pressure and temperature measurement instruments. Today, the name WIKA stands for a broad product range of industrial pressure and temperature measurement instrumentation. The more than 300 million measuring instruments made by WIKA so far not only prove the quality of our products, but have also enabled us to gain an extensive knowledge of practical applications requiring the measurement of pressure and temperature. The present new edition of the WIKA handbook is intended to provide a reference book for our worldwide customers, dealing not only with the fundamentals, but also important practical aspects of industrial pressure and temperature measurement. Additionally, all new developments concerning mechanical and electronic pressure and temperature measurement are considered. Alexander Wiegand V 15494_INTRO.P65 5 7/18/01, 18:28 Introduction Industrial development now faces challenges and opportunities of unprecedented magnitude and diversity. Economical manufacturing processes for existing or new products, new technology trends, the internationalization of markets and conditions of competition, new research developments and questions of safety for man and his environment call for innovative and visionary solutions. In many cases the optimum utilization of energy and raw materials, the reproducibility of product quality and the operational reliability of plants and equipment depend essentially on being able to control fundamental operations and parameters. Parameters of central importance in this respect are pressure and temperature. Their simple and exact measurement and control are becoming more and more important for many fields of technology and daily life. Indeed, they are already indispensable in heating, air conditioning, energy and vacuum systems, in chemical processing, petrochemicals, paper manufacturing, the food industry and biotechnology, and in automotive, mechanical, apparatus and plant engineering. The same appplies to measurement and testing laboratories and to the equipment needed to conduct experiments for research in the natural sciences and technology. The success of measurement and control in the above mentioned fields depends greatly on the availability of useful measurement methods and test facilities. The WIKA Handbook sets out to present all the measurement methods and equipment now in use in the technical field. In addition to reviewing the classical mechanical and electrical methods of measuring pressure and temperature, the book also takes a detailed look at modern electronic sensor principles. The measurement ranges of the instruments described extend from fractions of a millibar to 105 x atmospheric pressure, with greatly varying demands on precision. As for temperature measurements, the book describes methods for measuring the entire range from just above absolute zero to several thousand degrees Fahrenheit. In addition to describing the actual measurement methods and equipment the reader will also find detailed information about the physical fundamentals of pressure and temperature metrology, measurement transducers, influencing variables and the demands placed on pressure and temperature instruments by process engineering. National and international standards and regulations are also covered extensively. In its comprehensive treatment of all pressure and temperature measurement aspects this handbook is without equal. Details are presented in sufficient depth to grasp even complex subjects. Attention is drawn to specialized literature and relevant handbooks on physics and metrology where additional reading is required to answer further questions. The WIKA Handbook will not only prove extremely useful for WIKA customers but will certainly also find its way into many measurement and testing laboratories.

  • Pressure, Its Units of Measure and Pressure References
    _______________ White Paper Pressure, Its Units of Measure and Pressure References Viatran Phone: 1‐716‐629‐3800 3829 Forest Parkway Fax: 1‐716‐693‐9162 Suite 500 [email protected] Wheatfield, NY 14120 www.viatran.com This technical note is a summary reference on the nature of pressure, some common units of measure and pressure references. Read this and you won’t have to wait for the movie! PRESSURE Gas and liquid molecules are in constant, random motion called “Brownian” motion. The average speed of these molecules increases with increasing temperature. When a gas or liquid molecule collides with a surface, momentum is imparted into the surface. If the molecule is heavy or moving fast, more momentum is imparted. All of the collisions that occur over a given area combine to result in a force. The force per unit area defines the pressure of the gas or liquid. If we add more gas or liquid to a constant volume, then the number of collisions must increase, and therefore pressure must increase. If the gas inside the chamber is heated, the gas molecules will speed up, impact with more momentum and pressure increases. Pressure and temperature therefore are related (see table at right). The lowest pressure possible in nature occurs when there are no molecules at all. At this point, no collisions exist. This condition is known as a pure vacuum, or the absence of all matter. It is also possible to cool a liquid or gas until all molecular motion ceases. This extremely cold temperature is called “absolute zero”, which is -459.4° F.

Man Measurements at Extremes of Temperature and Pressure • California Institute of Technology Interfacial Tension The effect of surface tension is observed in many everyday situations. For example, a slowly leaking faucet drips because the force of surface tension allows the water to cling to it until a sufficient mass of water is accumulated to break free. Surface tension can cause a steel needle to “float” on the surface of water although its density is much higher than that of water. The surface of a liquid can be thought of as having a skin that is under tension. A liquid droplet is somewhat analogous to a balloon filled with air. The elastic skin of the balloon contains the air inside at a slightly higher pressure than the surrounding air. The surface of a liquid droplet likewise contains the liquid in the droplet at a pressure that is slightly higher than ambient. A clean liquid surface, however, is not elastic like a rubber skin. The tension in a piece of rubber increases as it is stretched and will eventually rupture. A clean liquid surface can be expanded indefinitely without changing the surface tension.

  • Sources: Galileo's Correspondence
    Sources: Galileo’s Correspondence Notes on the Translations The following collection of letters is the result of a selection made by the author from the correspondence of Galileo published by Antonio Favaro in his Le opere di Galileo Galilei,theEdizione Nazionale (EN), the second edition of which was published in 1968. These letters have been selected for their relevance to the inves- tigation of Galileo’s practical activities.1 The information they contain, moreover, often refers to subjects that are completely absent in Galileo’s publications. All of the letters selected are quoted in the work. The passages of the letters, which are quoted in the work, are set in italics here. Given the particular relevance of these letters, they have been translated into English for the first time by the author. This will provide the international reader with the opportunity to achieve a deeper comprehension of the work on the basis of the sources. The translation in itself, however, does not aim to produce a text that is easily read by a modern reader. The aim is to present an understandable English text that remains as close as possible to the original. The hope is that the evident disadvantage of having, for example, long and involute sentences using obsolete words is compensated by the fact that this sort of translation reduces to a minimum the integration of the interpretation of the translator into the English text. 1Another series of letters selected from Galileo’s correspondence and relevant to Galileo’s practical activities and, in particular, as a bell caster is published appended to Valleriani (2008).

  • Estimation of Internal Pressure of Liquids and Liquid Mixtures
    Available online at www.ilcpa.pl International Letters of Chemistry, Physics and Astronomy 5 (2012) 1-7 ISSN 2299-3843 Estimation of internal pressure of liquids and liquid mixtures N. Santhi 1, P. Sabarathinam 2, G. Alamelumangai 1, J. Madhumitha 1, M. Emayavaramban 1 1Department of Chemistry, Government Arts College, C.Mutlur, Chidambaram-608102, India 2Retd. Registrar & Head of the Department of Technology, Annamalai University, Annamalainagar-608002, India E-mail address: [email protected] ABSTRACT By combining the van der Waals’ equation of state and the Free Length Theory of Jacobson, a new theoretical model is developed for the prediction of internal pressure of pure liquids and liquid mixtures. It requires only the molar volume data in addition to the ratio of heat capacities and critical temperature. The proposed model is simple, reliably accurate and capable of predicting internal pressure of pure liquids with an average absolute deviation of 4.24% in the predicted internal pressure values compared to those given in literature. The average absolute deviation in the predicted internal pressure values through the proposed model for the five binary liquid mixtures tested varies from 0.29% to 1.9% when compared to those of literature values. Keywords: van der Waals, pressure of liquids, theory of Jacobson, capacity of heat liquids, equation of Srivastava and Berkowitz 1. INTRODUTION The importance of internal pressure in understanding the properties of liquids and the full potential of internal pressure as a structural probe did become apparent with the pioneering work of Hildebrand 1, 2 and the first review of the subject by Richards 3 appeared in 1925.
