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.

National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics Collection
The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) was a U.S. federal agency founded on March 3, 1915 to undertake, promote, and institutionalize aeronautical research. On October 1, 1958 the agency was dissolved, and its assets and personnel transferred to the newly created National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
This selection of materials from the Technical Report Archive and Image Library (TRAIL) includes hard-to-find reports published by various government agencies. The technical publications contain reports, images, and technical descriptions of research performed for U.S. government agencies. Topics range from mining, desalination, and radiation to broader physics, biology, and chemistry studies. Some reports include maps, foldouts, blueprints, and other oversize materials.
