yes for every 5000 feet of elevation your bourdon tube type of gauge will increase by 2 psi. even though the sealed vessel you are checking remains at the same psi.
example if i have a sealed tank at sea level and it is reading 12 psi. at 5000 feet the same tank and gauge will now read 14 psi. and at 10000 feet 16 psi. the tank pressure has not changed but the gauge is now out of whack because there is less pressure pressing on the bourdon tube. less atmospheric pressure easier for the gauge to go up.

If the parallelogram below has an area of 320 square units what is the length of the altitude shown?
How can we answer when we can't see the diagram... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ok heres the address to look at the diagram. http://media.apexlearning.com/Images/200706/08/23acc479-434a-4776-998e-d4d7dae81fe2.GIF PLEASE NEED THE ANSWER!!!! ---------------------------------------------------------------- The altitude is 20: Apex test =]
How do you Convert pounds of chlorine to gallon?
You need to know the density of the chlorine which is affected by the temperature and pressure at which the chlorine is. Once you know the density, you can convert it using: density = mass/volume → volume = mass/density. You'll need to know the density in pounds per gallon.
What is the compression ratio of 600 PSI?
"600 psi" is not a compression ratio; it's a pressure. For a RATIO, you need to compare TWO different numbers.
Why do you have to wear a spacesuit when you walk on the moon?
because there is no air, no atmosphere and there's no pressure in our body. and also you need a space suit because it can protect from the pressure because on one side it will be hot and another side it will be cold and it can also protect you from particles of flying objects
How many psi equals 1 water column?
You need to know how high the water column is to calculate the pressure it exerts at its base! For example, a column of water 1 metre deep would exert a pressure of 9.81 kPa at its base (density x gravity x depth - 1000 * 9.81 * 1). This would be equal to approx 1.42 PSI.
What measures the pressure of a gas or vapor?
Gas pressure can be measured using several different instruments including:Hydrostatic gauges - like a manometer or barometerPiston gauges - like tire pressure gaugesMechanical gauges - which use deflection of diaphragm, a capsule, or a set of bellows, which will change shape in response to the pressure of the region in questionBourdon tube - a type of mechanical gauge that uses a coiled tube (Bourdon tube) that deflects with pressureElectronic - including:Piezo resistive Strain GageCapacitiveMagneticPiezoelectricOpticalPotentiometricResonantThermal conductivity (conductivity of gasses changes with density - has to be calibrated to the gas)Ionization (best for low pressure gases - has to be calibrated to the gas)
Why don't your fuel battery coolant and oil pressure gauges on your 88' ford work?
need more info what gauges?
Does the pressure dial indicator on a air compressor need to be calibrated?
Almost anything involving compressed air with a dial indicator would need to be calibrated or checked once in awhile. Pressure at the magnitude could be very harmful if not properly handled by someone who knows what they are doing.
How do you calibrate an oil pressure gauge?
you need to check it against another gauge that is accurate which should be calibrated by a pressure calibration lab. So at least you know that the gauge you use to test your oil gauge is right. Then just "tee" in the "master" gauge into your oil line and check the two gauges against each other when the engine is running.
What are air brake gauges for?
Most air brake systems are fail-safe. This means that if there is a failure in the pressure system the brakes will lock on. You need gauges to show that you have sufficient pressure to proceed and to know your brakes are not dragging as this would cause them to overheat.
When evacuating a refrigeration system what is the easiest way to tell if all the liquid refrigerant has left the system?
What you need to do first is read the pressure gauges and see if the gauges read 0 psi
Do you need to increase the cooling system relief valve setting at altitude to compensate for lower atmospheric pressure?
no, but check your tire pressure
Does a wheel alignment machine needs to be calibrated?
Yes, wheel alignment machines do need to be calibrated.
Why Celsius scale is calibrated?
Scales that aren't calibrated are unreliable.
How do you see if a 2008 Town and Country Touring mini vans air condition needs freon?
You need a set of pressure gauges to hook up.
Where can one purchase a spare water pressure gauge?
Water pressure gauges can be purchased at all of the home improvement stores. Home Depot, Lowe's, and Berry Home Centers all carry them. Walmart even has them on their website.
Can an odometer be used to determine the altitude of mountains?
An odometer is for distance travelled, not height. You need something sensitive to changes in atmospheric pressure, a barometer, for measuring altitude. Altimeters as fitted to aircraft are in effect barometers.
