A Bleed-Type Pressure Transducer for In-Stream Measurement of Static Pressure Fluctuations

Abstract
The theory, design, and operation of a bleed-type pressure transducer for measurement of static pressure fluctuations in turbulent incompressible air flow are described. The transducer features miniature size (0.89 mm diam orifice), good sensitivity (3.0 mV/cm of water), minimal yaw sensitivity, and approximately uniform amplitude response from dc to 8 kHz using helium as the bleed fluid. Static and dynamic methods of calibration are described as well as an experimental arrangement for wind tunnel measurements.
