Abstract

Using the Berge and Tijdemen method for tube calibration is powerful as it allows for tubes of various dimensions to be used in a dynamic pressure data acquisition system by using post-processing methods to calibrate for the tubes natural dynamic response. Knowing the tubes response and using the inverse Fourier transform to calibrate the tube system is accepted however knowing how tube deformities influence this calibration is not known. Small singular deformities caused by pinch, twist and bending, which corresponded to a pinch and internal area ratios less than approximately 5 and 3.57 respectively, do not affect the tubing response of a system. Significant effects on the tubes response only occur at pinch and area ratios above these values. Furthermore, pinching ratios above 5 are extreme and represent a tube that is pinched locally to the point where it is almost blocked. This is testament to the tubes resilience to local and internal diameter changes. It can be safely assumed that unwanted and unexpected dampening of a tubing system could be due to a local tube deformity.
