Abstract

Flexible tubes are often used in hydraulic measurement, be it connection between pieces of hydraulic equipment or an extension from point of measurement to measuring sensor or as a substitute for a different material e.g. biological tissue. Such tube material allows for rather large deformation and therefore influences measured parameters. Laboratory set up consisting of pressure sensors and piston pulsator was used to gather experimental data. Frequency response and properties were obtained in a range of frequencies. Fluid structure interaction simulation using ANSYS FEM and Fluent CFD packages and simulation in ANSYS Mechanical with acoustic-capabilities were used to compare experimental and computational data. Results show correlation between different approaches. Suitability of flexible tubes is discussed regarding the obtained properties.
