9.2.3 Pressure Measuring Test
The test setup is depicted in Fig. 9-2.
The pressure test checks the pressure chamber, the pressure sensor, and the ac-
curacy of the pressure measurement, to ensure that all elements function cor-
rectly. For this test, an inflow tube set and a
water-filled container is required.
The height of the water column (hydrostatic pressure) is used to test the pressure
transducer.
