Abstract:
|
As already done for a 120 MPa full scale hydraulic pressure balance [1, 2 and 3], a new piston cylinder assembly for 36 MPa full scale has been developed within a cooperation between Istituto Nazionale di Ricerca Metrologica (INRIM) and Scandura & FEM company. For a better characterisation of this assembly a FEM analysis has been also done in cooperation with the University of Cassino. All the experimental and numerical results are here presented. The most important aspect of this work is the new design of the cylinder’s shape, compared to the 120 MPa unit, and its impact on the metrological characteristic of the new piston-cylinder assembly. From the FEM analysis results, it is possible to put in relationship the piston cylinder gap with the influence of the assembly’s verticality on the estimated pressure uncertainty values.
