A pressure testing device (10) for calculating a pressure in a flexible line (11) comprises a housing unit (14), a force sensor (70) mounted on the housing unit (14) and a clamp assembly having a clamp (60) mounted on the housing unit (14). The clamp (60) is operable to compress the flexible line (11) against the force sensor (70) by a predetermined degree of deformation of the flexible line (11). The device (10) includes a displacement sensor (90) adapted to measure a displacement of the clamp (60). The device (10) also includes a controller (120) having a processor in communication with the force sensor (70) and the displacement sensor (90), and a memory unit (122) containing stored data. At the predetermined degree of deformation of the flexible line (11), the processor compares a first signal from the force sensor (70) and a second signal from the displacement senor (90) with the stored data to estimate the pressure within the flexible line (11). |
