The pressure transmission tube, as part of a pressure measurement system, generally has a considerable influence on its dynamic characteristics. The paper deals with the mathematical modelling of the dynamic behaviour of pressure transmission tubes with the aim of providing guidelines for the optimal design of such systems in the frequency and time domains. The mathematical models used are based on linear wave theory and continuum flow mechanics with no-slip and isothermal boundary conditions. The frequency responses were evaluated in terms of frequency bandwidth and the transient step responses in terms of settling and rise times. Following a systematic analysis of these characteristic parameters, we derived an analytically formulated optimisation objective function defining the transition between the low-wavenumber and high-wavenumber pressure waves in the pressure transmission tubes. The demanded dynamic behaviour in the frequency and time domains can be achieved through an appropriate ratio between the actual tube radius and the so-called transition tube radius, which was derived as a function of the tube length, end volume and fluid properties.
