Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book describes the development of a precise manometer and piston gauges built by the author for use in determining the thermodynamic properties of various substances. The manometer consists of five U-tubes connected in series, with mercury, alcohol, and water used at different times to transmit pressure from one U-tube to the next. The piston gauges consist of a hardened steel piston and cylinder mounted vertically in a cast-iron base. The gauges were first calibrated against the mercury manometer and then used as secondary instruments to measure pressures up to 100 bars. The author discusses sources of error in both the manometer and gauges and presents corrections to be applied to the piston gauge readings to account for leakage past the piston and other factors. The book provides valuable information for those interested in the precise measurement of pressure and the design of precision pressure gauges.
