Abstract
The present invention is a dynamic transient pressure detection system for detecting and recording variations in pressure inside operating fluid chambers. One or more dynamic pressure sensors are installed inside an operating fluid chamber. Pressure is continuously measured and recorded with a high degree of accuracy. Transients are detected and data samples are stored and processed to locate the source of the transients and to provide information for preventing transients during future operations. A clock or timer records the chronological time of detection for each sample. The clock or timer may be connected to a Global Positioning System to assist in determining the source of transient pressures.
