Conclusion

This article was structured to provide readers wishing to carry out high-pressure measurements with a relevant set of information and recommendations enabling them to assess the implications of their implementation. Because of their specific nature and the regulatory constraints applying to them, it focuses on the equipment where such measurements can be carried out, and describes the principles of devices operating under high pressure in a way that is both simple and sufficiently developed to avoid any surprises. As each type of phenomenon to be measured requires specific arrangements or geometries, we have endeavored, wherever possible, to direct the reader towards pre-existing solutions or, if not, to invite him or her to follow the recommendations set out.

High-pressure measurements are based on the use of the pressure parameter, a recent development compared...
