1.0 OBJECTIVES
a) To study the difference of pressure measurement by using different types of
pressure instrument.
b) To compare the accuracy of instrument involved in the measurement of
pressure.
3.0 INTRODUCTION
The experiment serve as a continuity for the previous experiment on
identifying and recognizing the function of various equipment, instrumentation
and process involved in chemical and analytical process control system. For this
experiment, the activities focus on examining the data that obtained from
different types of pressure instrument in order to compare the accuracy of the
device.
1. Switch ON the main power supply. The switch is at the front of the
panel/cubicle.
2. Check that all the manual valves including the vent (V) and bottom drain
(D) valves are shut.
3. Open the manual valve MV3 at the Pressure Gauge (PG). Check the reading
at Pressure Gauge (PG). If the Pressure Gauge (PG) shows some value of
pressure in Tank TI, open the Vent (V) or bottom drain (D) valves to release
the pressure in tank. This is done until the Pressure Gauge (PG) shows a
‘zero’ reading.
1. Check that the main power supply at the front panel is switched ON.
2. Open manual valves MV1 connected to PT1, MV2 connected to PT2 and
MV3 connected PG. Check that all other manual valves are fully shut.
4. Open manual valve MV6 next to AFR to fill up the Pressure Tank, T1.
5. Check that the Manometer is properly connected to the tester tapping point,
MV8. Open fully the manual valve, MV8.
6. Check the readings at the Manometer and Pressure Gauge (PG). Once the
pressure readings in both the instruments are stabilized, manual valve MV6
is shut fully.
1. Check that all the manual valves including the vent (V) and bottom drain
(D) valves are shut.
2. Shut MV1 valve to isolate PT1 from the plant.
3. Remove the tubing connected to the transmitter.
4. Then, fix a vacuum pump (AMETEK MODEL T-750) to the transmitter to
obtain a pressure. FIGURE 1.1
5. Connect the Manometer properly to PT1. FIGURE 1.1
6. Once this is done, a Multimeter (GW MODEL GDM-391A) is connected to
PT1 to obtain the output signal from the transmitter for all the tested site
calibration ranges. FIGURE 1.2
7. Configuration of PT1 can be carried out to access information of the
transmitter.
1. Check that all the manual valves including the vent (V) and bottom drain
(D) valves are shut.
2. Shut MV2 valve to isolate PT2 from the plant.
3. Remove the tubing connected to the transmitter.
4. Then, fix a vacuum pump (AMETEK MODEL T-750) to the transmitter to
obtain a pressure.
5. Connect the Manometer properly to PT2.
6. Once this is done, a Multimeter (GW MODEL GDM-391A) is connected to
PT2 to obtain the output signal from the transmitter for all the tested site
calibration ranges.
7. Configuration of PT2 can be carried out to access information of the
transmitter.
Plant Shut-down
1. Make sure that the remaining air in pressure tank, T1 is released with vent
(V) valve fully open.
2. Shut the manual valve MV6 next to AFR and all other manual valves fully.
3. Reconnect the original tubing of both PT1 and PT2.
4. Switch OFF the main power supply to the plant at the front of the panel/
cubical.

6.0 RESULTS & CALCULATIONS
Remarks:
8.0 DISCUSSIONS
Discuss the overall experiment on data obtain based on your understanding.
Discussion should relate reasons for the phenomena/results obtained,
theoretical parts, suggested reasons (if necessary but back with sound
theoretical knowledge) and your overview understanding.
iii. If the contents of a tank holding 20m3 of gas are transferred to a tank
with twice as much volume and all other factors remain unchanged, what
will happen to gas pressure?
iv. If the gas in a tank heated and all other factors remain unchanged, what
will happen to the gas pressure?
vi. Discuss briefly the possible errors affecting the accuracy in pressure
measurement as observed in the experiment.
10.0 CONCLUSION
Conclusion is merely a summary of the important findings already reported
in the discussion section. It also relates to the objectives stated earlier.
