A digital vacuum pressure sensor is designed, fabricated, and characterized using a packaged MEMS analog Pirani gauge. The packaged MEMS analog Pirani gauge requires a current source to heat up a heater in the Pirani gauge. To investigate the feasibility of digitization for the analog Pirani gauge, its implementation is performed with a zero-temperature coefficient current source and microcontroller that are commercially available. The measurement results using the digital vacuum pressure sensor showed that its operating range is 0.05-760 Torr, which is the same as the measurement results of the packaged MEMS analog pressure sensor. The results confirm that it is feasible to integrate the analog Pirani gauge with a commercially available current source and microcontroller. The successful hybrid integration of the analog Pirani gauge and digital circuits is an encouraging result for monolithic integration with a precision current source and ADCs in the state of CMOS dies.

Subsurface pressure gauge has many advantages in measuring a wide range of wave spectra in coastal waters from wind waves to long waves. However, a shortcoming of the gauge is related to the difficulties in recovering surface wave spectra from subsurface pressure records. In this study, the effect of current on the pressure transfer function of the pressure gauge, and hence on the surface wave energy spectrum, was investigated by analyzing the subsurface pressure data based on the linear wave theory. For this purpose, laboratory experiments were carried out in a wave-current flume. Subsurface pressure records, as well as the surface elevation data, were obtained simultaneously under different wave and current conditions. Pressure transfer functions were obtained and compared with those estimated from the linear wave theory, both with and without inclusion of the current-effect. It was established that wave spectra obtained from subsurface pressure gauge were in closer agreement with those from surface wave gauge when current-effect on the pressure transfer function was taken into consideration for analysis.

This study analyzed how the installation of a pressure gauge in the indoor fire hydrant of an apartment building affected identifying pressurized water in the pipe, making it easier to conduct internal inspection on the fire suppression system, and ensuring reliability of fire suppression. The following are the study's results: First, identifying pressurized water in the indoor firefighting pipe had a positive effect on the installation of a pressure gauge in the indoor fire hydrant. This implies that a higher level of identification of pressurized water in the indoor firefighting pipe had a positive impact on improving the installation and use of a pressure gauge in the indoor fire hydrant. Second, making it easier for the fire safety officer to inspect the fire suppression system had a positive effect on the installation of a pressure gauge in the indoor fire hydrant. This suggests that if it becomes easier for the apartment building's stakeholder to conduct internal inspection or the firefighting facility manager to carry out inspection on the fire suppression system, it would have a positive effect on the installation of a pressure gauge in the indoor fire hydrant. Finally, ensuring reliability in fire suppression had a positive effect on the installation of a pressure gauge in the indoor fire hydrant. This implies that if it becomes easier to identify pressurized water in the indoor firefighting pipe, for the fire safety officer to conduct internal inspection, or for the firefighting facility manager to carry out inspection in accordance with the fire suppression system's internal inspection requirements, it would increase reliability in fire suppression, making it more necessary to install a pressure gauge in the indoor fire hydrant.

Many projection methods have been progressively constructed to find more accurate and efficient solution of the Navier-Stokes equations. In this paper, we consider most recently constructed projection methods: the pressure correction method, the gauge method, the consistent splitting method, the Gauge-Uzawa method, and the stabilized Gauge-Uzawa method. Each method has different background and theoretical proof. We prove equivalentness of the pressure correction method and the stabilized Gauge-Uzawa method. Also we will obtain that the Gauge-Uzawa method is equivalent to the gauge method and the consistent splitting method. We gather theoretical results of them and conclude that the results are also valid on other equivalent methods.

Optimizing the tapping time of a blast furnace is important to a stable operation and life extension. To optimize the tapping time of the blast furnace, the location of Hearth Liquid Level should be recognized. There are several ways to measure the hearth liquid level in the blast furnace, such as Electromotive Force(EMF) measurement, pressure measurement by putting in nitrogen probe and manometry with strain gauge. In this paper, it will be discussed using strain gauge among the three methods. Conventional strain gauge must be revised periodically. Since, internal pressure, temperature of internal refractory material and wind pressure have effect on the strain gauge. However, static pressure value is required to compensate. To solve these problems, this paper suggests finding relationship between Hearth Liquid Level and strain gauge output, adding digital filter in strain gauge. Using the proposed method, it was possible to estimate the hearth liquid level and determine the appropriate tapping time. Usefulness of the proposed method through simulations and experimental results are confirmed.

This paper presents the Inkjet-printed strain gauge using PEDOT:PSS. The strain gauge (width 0.6 mm, length 20 mm, thickness $0.3{\mu}m$) was printed on the PET film using PEDOT:PSS ink. The resistance variation of the fabricated strain gauge was measured by the digital multi-meter with the displacement range of -4 to 10 mm. As the measured result, resistance variation (${\Delta}R/R_0$) has approximately 0.75%, linearity of 99.87%. The fabricated strain gauge is expected to the various applications such as tape type pressure sensor, PMS(pressure mapping sensor), wearable devices.

The Bourdon tube pressure gauge is the most widely used primary detector for pressure in various kinds of fields recently. However in many cases lots of difficulties are encountered in telemetering, measuring the continuously changing pressure and recording as time goes by, etc. In this paper a Bourdon tube of flat-oval section is considered. On the basis of Wolf's theory, the very sensitive places are selected on the tube and full bridge arrangement is used. Then all of the characteristics are examined in order to use the pressure transducer practically into which the pressure gauge is converted. From the results, the error in meter reading is about $\pm$3% F.S., on the other hand, when measured with strain gauge, the error is within $\pm$1% F.S.. Also external acceleration on Bourdon tube hardly affect practical use.

최근 반도체, LCD, 첨단전자산업 관련 분야의 급팽창으로 고압 액화가스 사용이 증가함에 따라 극저온 용기 및 저장탱크도 대형화되는 추세이다. 저장탱크 내의 잔존량을 측정하기 위해 기존에는 아날로그식 액면계와 압력계를 이용하고 있으나 이는 측정이 불편하고 정밀도가 부정확하여 정확한 양을 측정하기가 어렵다. 이에 본 연구에서는 차압센서를 이용하여 극저온 액화가스 저장탱크의 압력과 액면 높이를 측정하고 유선통신기능으로 PC 모니터링이 가능하도록 하며, 모바일 프린터를 연결하여 특정데이터가 출력 가능하도록 디지털식 액면측정장치를 설계한다.

본 연구는 포강내 압력 측정을 위한 압력 게이지 운영성 검증에 관한 연구이다. 탄약 성능 평가 시험 중 포강 내 압력 측정은 주로 동구게이지를 이용하고 있다. 압력 측정 방식의 대체를 위해 IPG 게이지를 사용했으며, 시험 결과를 분석하여 IPG 게이지의 운용성 검증을 수행하였다. 운용성 검증을 위해 실 사격시험 데이터를 이용했으며 결과 분석은 기술적 통계 기법의 일환인 T검정 분석을 사용하였다. 시험용 장비 및 탄약은 155MM KH179 및 M119 계열의 추진 장약을 사용했다. 본 연구 결과 동구게이지와 IPG게이지 사이의 데이터 값에 대해 5%의 유의수준에서 두 데이터 결과의 평균 값 간에 차이가 없는 것으로 확인되었다. 포강 내 압력 측정을 위해 기존의 동구게이지를 대체하여 IPG의 활용 가능 여부를 검증하였으며, 시험 계측 방법의 다양성 측면에서 적용 폭을 넓힐 수 있음을 확인하였다. 본 시험 결과 바탕으로 추진장약류 외에 다양한 탄종의 압력 계측 시험에 적용될 수 있을 것이며, 이를 통해 국내 운용 탄약의 성능 평가 시험 활용이 기대된다.
