h₁ = 15 + 1mm (manometer reading)
h₂ = 9±1mm (manometer reading)
P₁ = 18.6 ± 0.1 psia
Q=0.308 ± 0.06 ft³. (min)-¹
V = 1 + 0.05 gal
m = 8.2 ± 0.05 lbm
Calculate the following derived variables and their best-estimate uncertainties. Present
the results in the form of x = x, ± 8x.
a. Pressure drop reading from the manometer. AP(mmHg) = h₁ - h₂ [6±1.4mmHg]
b. Pressure drop conversion from mmHg to psia. [0.12±0.027psi]
c. Pressure ratio: [1.006±0.008794]
d. Specific Gravity: SG =

Pwater
(for liquids) [0.98+0.05]
e. Valve sizing coefficient: C₂ = Q *
