For an old process centrifugal compressor equiped with an isolation bladder inside the accumulator (API614 Figure 2A-14; 50 liter), the oil pressure does not correspond to the height of the liquid (4.5m). About 150mb is missing. The bladder is causing this anomaly; the existing bladder material is nitrile and thickness 3mm, shore hardness is 80. The old bladder material was neoprene, thickness is unknown.
Question: what should be the bladder characteristics: thickness and shore hardness?
Thanks Nicolas
