LOFT experimental measurements uncertainty analyses. Volume XI. Free-field pressure transducer

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5275317
Fast pressure transients during the subcooled decompression phase of experiments performed in the Loss-of-Fluid Test (LOFT) system are measured using free-field pressure transducers (FFPTs). This uncertainty analysis estimated the uncertainty for these measurements to be the root-sum-square combination of 0.13 MPa and 1% of reading. Although the FFPTs provide useful pressure measurements during other phases of LOFT experiments, the uncertainty for these measurements may be somewhat larger and is not included in this analysis.
