The quality of static pressure ports has historically been shown to be capable of biasing the resulting measurements of static pressure over the surface. Some of the flaws in the port quality can be recognized visually through magnified imaging of the port with a microscope. Through digital analyses of images of a large quantity of existing pressure ports and estimation of the deviations from the true static pressure for each port, a correlation could potentially be constructed to estimate whether a port will generate a significant error based upon its surface-level appearance. This presentation pursues this hypothesis through attempted correlation of subsonic data collected on the 4-inch-diameter cone cylinder during the 2019 characterization tests in the NASA Glenn Research Center's 8- by 6-Foot Supersonic Wind Tunnel (8x6 SWT).
