  2. Hydrostatic test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrostatic_test

    The test involves filling the vessel or pipe system with a liquid, usually water, which may be dyed to aid in visual leak detection, and pressurization of the vessel to the specified test pressure. Pressure tightness can be tested by shutting off the supply valve and observing whether there is a pressure loss.

  3. Water flow test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_flow_test

    A set of three water pressure measurements are recorded from two hydrants. One hydrant is known as the residual hydrant or test hydrant and is located on or near the water main where a new water connection is desired. From this test hydrant, a static pressure and a residual pressure will be measured.

  4. Static pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_pressure

    At least one author takes a different approach in order to avoid a need for the expression freestream static pressure. Gracey has written "The static pressure is the atmospheric pressure at the flight level of the aircraft". [15] [16] Gracey then refers to the air pressure at any point close to the aircraft as the local static pressure.

  5. Hydrostatics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrostatics

    is the hydrostatic pressure (Pa), is the fluid density (kg/m 3), is gravitational acceleration (m/s 2), is the height (parallel to the direction of gravity) of the test area (m), is the height of the zero reference point of the pressure (m)

  6. Pressure head - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_head

    This is why static pressure and dynamic pressure are never the same in a system in which the fluid is in motion. This pressure difference arises from a change in fluid velocity that produces velocity head, which is a term of the Bernoulli equation that is zero when there is no bulk motion of the fluid. In the picture on the right, the pressure ...

  7. Pressure measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_measurement

    Pressure sensors can alternatively be called pressure transducers, pressure transmitters, pressure senders, pressure indicators, piezometers and manometers, among other names. Pressure is an expression of the force required to stop a fluid from expanding, and is usually stated in terms of force per unit area.

  8. Well control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well_control

    = Pressure under static condition + Pressure due to pumping at that point or pressure loss in the system. If we convert pressure under circulating condition in the annulus to its density equivalent it will be called ECD Dividing the above equation by 0.052*TVD into both sides:- ECD = (Pressure under static condition + Annular pressure loss ...

  9. Backflow prevention device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backflow_prevention_device

    Back pressure can force an undesirable contaminant to enter potable water piping. Sources of back pressure may be boilers, heat exchanging equipment, power washing equipment, fire sprinklers, or pumps in the water distribution system. In some cases there may be an almost continuous risk of overcoming the static water pressure in the piping.
