This document discusses the principles of pressure and its measurement. It defines pressure and the different units used to measure it. It describes absolute and gauge pressure and how they are related. It discusses how pressure is exerted by liquids and the principles of hydraulic machines and manometers. It provides examples of calculating pressure, force and head from given parameters for problems involving a hydraulic accumulator, hydraulic press and mercury manometer.
3. Pressure
defined as a measure of the force applied
over a unit area
is a scalar quantity
expressed in units of Pascals (Pa), newtons
per square meter (N/m2 or kg/m揃s2), or
pounds per square inch, atmosphere (atm),
torr, bar, and meters sea water (msw).
pressure is denoted by the capital letter P
4. Absolute Pressure
is a pressure that is relative to the zero
pressure in air-free space
This pressure references the ideal vacuum
expressed in the formula Pabs=Patm+Pguage
or Pabs= Phead + Patm
5. Principles of Pressure Exerted
by a Liquid
Means the vertical distance of the
liquids surface
The normal force exerted by a liquid
per unit area
Known as hydrostatic pressure
Pressure will be the same at all
points at the same level in all
directions
Pressure exerted is always
perpendicular to its surface
8. Question 3
3) A hydraulic accumulator with a ram of 400mm in
diameter is connected with a hydraulic press whose
ram is 800mm in diameter. The load on the
accumulator is 700 kN.
a. What is the pressure, in kN/m2 on the ram of the
accumulator?
b. What total force, in kN, would the press exert?
c. Calculate the head equivalent to the pressure on
the ram of the accumulator.
