DYNAMIC PRESSURE CALIBRATION

Sofia Razzak, Jean-Pierre Damion, Nabil Ben Hsouna

Abstract

The sloshing loads in tanks of LNG carriers are assessed during the ship design phase by performing sloshing model tests. GTT have initiated studies to determine parameters influencing pressure sensors sensitivity. The objective is to develop a dynamic pressure calibration method. The selected parameters are the rise time and the discharge time constant. The results in terms of sensitivity and uncertainty of this approach are compared with the more conventional calibration methods.
