Calibration and Data Correction Procedures for Flow Meters and Pressure Transducers Commonly Used by the Coastal Studies Unit.

Abstract

This report describes calibration procedures and results for two types of instruments commonly used by the Coastal Studies Unit: a bidirectional ducted flow meter and a strain gage pressure transducer. These instruments each constitute a system comprising a sensor head which issues a pulsating signal and a control box which electronically integrates the pulses into an analogue voltage which is then recorded. It is the response characteristics of these systems as a whole that are examined herein. (Author)
