Units of pressure

Copper units of pressure

Copper units of pressure or CUP, and the related lead units of pressure or LUP, are terms applied to pressure measurements used in the field of internal ballistics for the estimation of chamber pressures in firearms. These terms were adopted by convention to indicate that the pressure values were measured by copper crusher and lead respectively. In recent years, they have been replaced by the adoption of more modern piezoelectric pressure gauges that more accurately measure chamber pressures and generally give significantly higher pressure values. This nomenclature was adopted to avoid confusion and the potentially dangerous interchange of pressure values and standards made by different types of pressure gauges. For example, it makes little sense to describe a maximum pressure as 300 MPa, and in case the pressure has been measured according to the CUP procedure it should be denoted as 300 MPa (CUP). Pressure is a fundamental physical parameter that is expressed in units of force divided by area. The unit of pressure in the avoirdupois system is pounds per square inch, while the unit of pressure in the metric system is the bar, and the unit of pressure in the modern SI system is pascals (equivalent to newtons per square meter). A chamber pressure measured with a copper crusher gauge would there be expressed as psi (CUP) in the English system, bar (CUP) in the metric system, and MPa (CUP) in the SI system. (Wikipedia).

Pressure Demo: Copper Bar

This is a demonstration of atmospheric pressure. A 45-inch copper rod with a 1 in x 1 in cross section has a weight of 14.7 lb. Orienting the rod vertically and resting it on a surface simulates the 14.7 psi pressure of the atmosphere on that surface. This demonstration was created at
