Bubble shape and excess pressure in dip-tube pressure measurement for density, level, and volume determination of plutonium nitrate solution in a reprocessing and plutonium conversion plant are studied theoretically and experimentally because the excess pressure is a source of error for highly accurate materials accounting. The bubble shape calculated numerically at equilibrium has a convex face above, like the upper part of a torus. The excess pressure is calculated from liquid density, surface tension, and the torus diameter, without the bottom curvature and height of the bubble. The excess pressure reaches a maximum when the torus diameter reaches the inner diameter of the tube. The bubble breaks and excess pressure reaches a minimum just after the bubble surface reaches the outer surface of the tube. The excess pressure is independent of liquid level and bubbling frequency, if the frequency is less than once every 5 s.
