VARIABLE RELUCTANCE PRESSURE TRANSDUCER DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

Pressure is one of the fundamental aerodynamic parameters which must be measured in hyperveloc ity wind tunnel testing. Pressure transducers whose time response and pressure ranges are suit able for test section measurements in the hyper velocity tunnels of the von Karman Gas Dynamics Facility (VKF) have been developed by the Instrumentation Branch of that facility. A description of these transducers, their theory of operation, and their performance characteristics are presented.
