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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The pressure exerted by a solid object which is resting on top of another solid surface is the weight of the object divided by the area of the object's surface. The formula for pressure is: ...

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 ...

Implementing company-wide static pressure measurements can be tough. Consistency is one of the biggest challenges to overcome. At National Comfort Institute Inc. (NCI), we recommend measuring static ...
