While well-designed photoelectric, inductive or capacitive readers andpressure regulators, and other ac

10、cessories are highly desirable for convenience and productionrate, they are considered to be outside the scope of this AIR.1.1 Purpose:This AIR is intended to define three classes of barometers, working, reference and transfer, andsome aspects of their use so that altimeters and air data transducers

11、 calibrated against workingbarometers will be comparable. An accuracy of 0.003 inch (or 0.076 mm) Hg should beapproachable with working barometers meeting the recommendations in this AIR.NOTE: 0.003 inch Hg corresponds to 3 ft of altitude at sea level and 11 ft of altitude at40,000 feet. (0.076 mm H

12、g corresponds to 0.8 m of altitude at sea level and 3.4 m ofaltitude at 12,000 meters.)2.

DESIGN OF MERCURIAL WORKING BAROMETERS:3.1 Definition:A working barometer is one whose normal use is to be connected to one or more altimeters, airdata transducers, or other precis

27、e absolute pressure devices, and operated with them to the fullrange of pressures required for their calibration.3.2 General Construction:3.2.1 The barometer should be of sturdy construction and of such design that it can be servicedwithout loss of accuracy in any completely equipped instrument shop

28、, without the use of specialjigs or tools.3.2.2 Parts requiring matching, or parts non-interchangeable between barometers of the samemodel, should be permanently marked with the serial number of the barometer.3.3 Tube:The tube should be of precision-bore glass and should have an internal diameter of

29、 at least0.5 inch (12.7 mm). Preference should be for a larger diameter. The surface tension (capillary)errors of a 0.625 inch (15.875 mm) tube for example, are only about half of those for a 0.5 inch(12.7 mm) tube. The top should be connected to a vacuum pump and gauge.3.4 Cistern:3.4.1 The interna

30、l diameter of the cistern should be precisely determined and related to the internaldiameter of the tube by the scale-shortening factor.SAE AIR1075 Revision A- 7 -3.4.2 The barometer should be operable to the zero point of the scale (or other readout means) topermit precise determination of the amou

31、nt of mercury in the barometer while tube and cisternpressures are equal.3.5 Levelling and Plumbing Provisions:The base should include levelling screws and bubble levels so that the cistern mercury level andscale (or other readout device) zero may be levelled within 0.001 inch (0.025 mm) and the sca

32、leplumbed within 0.5 degrees (0.009 rad) of verticality.3.6 Mercury:The mercury should be triple-distilled, bright and shiny, and free from tailing. See also 5.8.3.7 Thermometer:A mercurial thermometer, accurate within 0.2 degrees Celsius, should be permanently installedon the barometer in such fash

33、ion that the thermal lag of the thermometer and its mounting closelyapproximate that of the barometer mercury. On a barometer of 60 inches (or 150 cm) or greaternominal range, two or more thermometers should be installed.3.8 Scale:3.8.1 Standard conditions for pressure measurement are in terms of me

34、rcury at 0 C (32 F) and agravitational acceleration of 980.665 cm/second/second, although a scale may be cut to read inthese terms while at other temperatures and gravities.3.8.2 The scale should be engraved on a single piece of metal whose coefficient of expansion isknown and has been taken into ac

35、count in the design. The primary calibration should be indecimal inches or in millimeters, or in shortened decimal inches or shortened millimeters toaccount for changes in cistern mercury level, or in millibars or pascals.NOTE: 1 pascal = 1 newton/meter2(exactly)= 0.01 millibar (exactly)3.8.3 If an

36、altitude scale is also provided, it should be cut in accordance with the U.S. StandardAtmosphere of 1962. Within the range of concern of this AIR this is identical to the ICAOStandard Atmosphere. The altitude should be in terms of geopotential feet.3.8.4 Unless the barometer is designed for single-t

37、emperature operation and housed in an enclosurewhose temperature is precisely controlled, means should be provided for the temperaturecorrection to be applied to the reading. Unless the barometer is designed for a particularlocation, means should be provided for the gravity (latitude) correction to

38、be applied to thereading. Means should be provided to indicate at all times the amounts of compensation beingapplied for temperature and for gravity.SAE AIR1075 Revision A- 8 -3.8.5 A scale cut for use only at a specific temperature and/or a specific value of gravity should bepermanently marked with

39、 those values.3.8.6 The scale should be permanently marked with the serial number of the barometer.3.9 Other Readout Means:3.9.1 In lieu of, or in addition to the scale, a lead screw and turns-counting device, a metallic tape, orother equivalent readout means may be provided. Barometers of this type

40、 should haveprovisions for checking the accuracy and wear of the readout means by the use of gaugeblocks, unless a scale complying with 3.8 is also permanently fitted.3.9.2 Unless the barometer is designed for single-temperature operation and housed in an enclosurewhose temperature is precisely cont

41、rolled, means should be provided for the temperaturecorrection to be applied to the reading. Unless the barometer is designed for a particularlocation, means should be provided for the gravity (latitude) correction to be applied to thereading. Means should be provided to indicate at all times the am

42、ount of compensation beingapplied for temperature and gravity.3.9.3 A readout assembly designed for use only at a specific temperature and a specific value ofgravity should be permanently marked with those values. Any portions of the assembly peculiarto such values should also be so marked.3.10 Read

43、ing Device:3.10.1 Crosshairs, a sighting ring, or other arrangement should be provided so that the position ofthe meniscus in the tube can be precisely located. The reading device should be capable ofgoing to the zero point of the scale (or other readout means) to allow accurate determinationof the

44、amount of mercury in the barometer while the tube and cistern pressures are equalized.3.10.2 In a barometer fitted with a scale, the reading device should include a vernier allowing readingof the scale to 0.001 inch or 0.02 mm.3.11 Certification:The manufacturer should furnish with each barometer a

45、calibration chart showing the residualerrors of the barometer. This should have been made by comparison with his Master, whichshould have been calibrated by the National Bureau of Standards.3.12 Instructions:3.12.1 The manufacturer should furnish with each barometer complete and fully illustratedins

46、tructions for assembly, operation, disassembly, cleaning, and servicing. The instructionsshould fully detail all the potential sources of error and the means of avoiding them.SAE AIR1075 Revision A- 9 -3.12.2 The instructions should include statements as to:a. The scale-shortening ratio.b. Temperatu

47、re and gravity values at which, without compensation, the scale (or otherreadout means) will read in standard terms; i.e., 0 C and 980.665 cm/second/second.c. Standard Atmosphere used.d. Means of avoiding or correcting capillary depression.e. Other significant corrections and assumptions used.3.12.3

48、 The format of the instructions should be in accordance with Air Transport Association ofAmerica Specification 100 (Reference 4).3.13 Parts:3.13.1 The manufacturer should furnish with each barometer a complete parts list, and should carryin stock for immediate delivery gaskets, packings, tubes, cist

49、erns, and any other parts orassemblies likely to require replacement.3.13.2 The format of the parts list should be in accordance with Air Transport Association of AmericaSpecification 100 (Reference 4).4. DESIGN OF MERCURIAL REFERENCE BAROMETERS:4.1 Definition:A mercurial reference barometer is one whose normal use is to monitor the calibration of workingbarometers, whose design is such that its own calibration may be established by direct linearmeasurement of the height of the mercury column, whose design includes refinements tooptimize accuracy (at the expense of convenien
