What is a pressure gauge? A self-contained indication that converts the measured process pressure into the mechanical motion of a pointer is what is frequently represented by the word “pressure gauge.” An instrument for measuring the pressure of a fluid or gas in a system is a pressure gauge. Typically, it comprises of a circular …

What is an error in the pressure gauge? Inaccuracy in pressure gauge occurs when an output signal diverges from the desired value. When the pointer on the pressure gauge scale indicates a higher or lower value instead of actual. What are the factors affecting accuracy and performance in Pressure Gauges? The majority of pressure gauges …
A diaphragm is a material that would be elastic and if we apply pressure to this then it would displace. This type of pressure gauge would use the elastic property of the diaphragm to determine the difference between reference pressure and unknown pressure. The operating principle of this device is the same as the bourdon …
What is pressure gauge? The pressure gauge is one of the widely used instrument to measure pressure. The widely used bourdon gauge measures and indicates pressure. The principle used in bourdon pressure gauge is that a flattened tube tends to straighten or retain its circular form in cross-section when pressure is applied.To measure pressure which is lower than …

Piston-type differential pressure gauges are available with one or two hermetically sealed leaf switches. The switches are adjustable within a defined percentage of the full scale of the meter and are available in SPDT and SPST, normally open or normally closed configurations for various load / power classifications. Operation principle: The differential pressure p1 and …
Introduction The bellow type gauges are used for the measurement of absolute pressure. They are more sensitive than bourdon gauges. It may be used for measuring pressures up to 40 mm Hg. Construction The bellows are made up of an alloy with high strength and ductility. It should have very little hysteresis effect. Commonly brass …
Introduction A simple way to mitigate the effects of pulsation on a manometer is to fill the inside of the manometer with a viscous liquid such as glycerin or oil. The inherent friction of this filling fluid has a “shock absorber” quality that dampens the oscillating movement of the measuring mechanism and helps protect against …
Introduction In many applications within the process industries, measuring instruments are exposed to critical operating conditions. To be able to resist, for example, strong pressure surges or extreme temperatures, depending on the application.such as over pressure protection devices, shut-off valves or syphons, to pressure gauges. Added value through accessories The combination of pressure gauges with …

Definition A pressure gauge is a mechanical instrument. It is designed to measure the internal pressure, vacuum of a vessel or system. There is lots of variety of pressure gauges in the market according to size, styles. Principles of Operation Bourdon tubes are the main pressure sensing element used in most of the pressure gauges When the …
Introduction A simple pressure gauge can be used for level measurement if its scale is properly calibrated for the actual level, inside the tank or vessel We are considering open tank Case1 Consider for instance the tank is 1000mm height & is filled with water of specific gravity 1.00 as shown in fig below …
