MASTER THESIS
Background
The purpose of this master thesis is to establish
a method for dynamic calibration of the
pressure sensors in theWaterpower Laboratory.
At the moment the pressure sensors are
calibrated with steady-state pressure even
though the sensors will be used for dynamic
measurements. Investigation of the uncertainty
in the measurements when using dynamic and
steady-state calibration will also be included in
this thesis.
