Abstract

This report is a description of a pressure data system designed and built for use with a 50-inch, continuous, Mach 8 wind tunnel. The system is basically a nine-channel system, with a capacity for 99 model pressure ports. Three ranges and seven reference pressure levels are employed to provide an extended pressure level coverage, while maintaining low-level sensitivity. Control circuits are employed to automatically select the proper range and refernce level for each pressure measurement, and to simplify calibration procedures. A description of the measuring and control systems components is included, along with a section on the operation of the control system. The report is concluded with an evaluation of the pressure data system, based on a two-year period of operation.
