Validation of the Hydrostatic Position of a Partially and Fully Submerged Vertical Curved Plane Surface Apparatus

Abstract

Cultivating technological innovation and entrepreneurship development requires urgent attention in Africa, which is fertile ground for sustainable industrial hubs. The goal of this study is to validate locally made hydrostatic pressure equipment. To do this, specific goals need to be met, such as making hydrostatic position equipment from locally sourced materials, testing both ISO Standard and locally manufactured equipment, and comparing the locally manufactured equipment to an ISO Standard-certified one. Research and the Armfield hydrostatic position apparatus came up with the design method that was used in this project. Their work has been properly credited. The newly made equipment was used in the lab for tests, and the results were compared to those from ISO standard equipment based on what scholars thought. The Pearson product moment of correlation and t-test statistical methods were used to validate the newly fabricated apparatus. The new apparatus and the ISO Standard apparatus had a perfect fit of 1 for the correlation coefficient, and the t-test showed that there were no significant differences between the results from the two apparatuses when the same lab procedures were used. The newly fabricated hydrostatic pressure apparatus is much better than the ISO Standard one because it requires minimum operational and installation costs, no foreign exchange, little or no training costs, and locally sourced raw materials for fabrication. Sponsored creative innovation like this would sustain technological and entrepreneurial development and improve the nation’s gross domestic product (GDP).
