Part of: Hydraulic Engineering

Abstract:

Basic hydraulics principles and the operation of certain hydraulic systems can be effectively demonstrated with the aid of relatively inexpensive data acquisition and analyses systems. Two (2) computerized systems are described and an example application for each are presented. The importance of understanding the sensor behavior and the need for periodic calibration of the sensor and acquisition system are stressed. A calibration device for pressure transducers is described.
