Abstract

The main purpose of this work is the numerical and experimental analysis of an industrial pressure balance operating in liquid media up to 120 MPa. The numerical prediction of the pressure distortion coefficient, the piston fall rates, the piston-cylinder elastic distortions is achieved through the Finite Element Method (FEM). Numerical results are compared to experimental values and a sensitivity analysis is performed in order to explain some differences between FEM and experimental results.
