How Do Pressure Gauges Work? | Bourdon Tubes FAQ

Learn how Bourdon tube pressure gauges and how they measure pressure accurately and reliably. 0:00 - How does a Bourdon tube pressure gauge measure pressure? 0:24 - Why do pressure gauges come in standard ranges of 15, 30, 60, and 100 PSI? 0:52 - What about the Bourdon tube is different for different ranges of measurement? 1:26 - How long do Bourdon tube pressure gauges last? 1:46 - Can you recalibrate or replace the Bourdon Tube? Key Takeaways: Mechanism: The Bourdon tube deflects under pressure, and this deflection is converted into a rotary movement that moves the dial pointer. Range and Measurement: The tube’s size and wall thickness determine the gauge’s pressure range, accommodating measurements from as low as 10 PSI to as high as 10,000 PSI. Durability: Bourdon tube gauges are robust, often lasting millions of cycles under normal conditions. Maintenance: While these gauges can be recalibrated to correct small changes, the Bourdon tube itself is not replaceable if damaged. To learn more visit: https://reotemp.com/products/pressure...
