"The influence of different orifices on the result of measuring the same pressure distributions is the subject of this note. A circular cylinder is exposed to an air stream perpendicular to its axis and its pressure distribution is repeatedly determined. The pressures measured on the downstream half of the cylinder do not change for the orifice sizes used in the tests" (p. 1).

Report presenting an investigation to determine the effect of tubing length on the indicated pressure values as ascertained in the pressure distribution measurements on the PW-9. The purpose was to determine the percentage of error in the pressure readings which might be caused by various lengths of tubing between the pressure orifices and pressure cell at the manometer. The differences in head caused by variations in the length of tubing are small, the lowest recorded being zero, the highest 2.7 percent.
