Hi all,
Am I right in supposing that the values of "Gas Pressure (Maximum Transient)" and "Gas Pressure (Minimum Transient)" under the "Results (Transient)" menu of the properties table for a Hydropneumatic Tank are expressed as absolute pressure?
I know that in Hammer (right...that's the software I'm talking about) pressure values are generally expressed as gauge pressure, but I think this is an exception. Otherwise I can't explain some results I got...
Yes, the gas pressure is expressed in terms of absolute pressure. This wiki article on modeling a hydropneumatic tank is a modeling reference for the element and should be able to help answer questions that you have on it.
