Wind Tunnel Pressure Measuring Techniques

Abstract

The report was written to give those unacquainted with modern wind tunnel pressure measuring techniques and equipment a broad view of the topic and to provide sufficient references so that additional information may be easily obtained. The material covered is limited to direct pressure measurements, i.e., force per unit area, and does not present techniques that determine pressure through its relationship to other measured parameters. Transducers, signal conditioning, data recording equipment, and static and dynamic calibrations are described.
