1. Absolute Pres- Absolute pressure is a total measurement using zero pres-

sure sure as datum.

2. Gauge Pressure Gauge pressure is a measurement above the atmospheric

pressure which is used as a datum.

3. U-Tube Manome- This instrument is used to measure low pressure readings

ter such as air pressures. Where two system pressures are
applied, this instrument will measure differential pressure.

4. Mercury Barome- Glass capillary tube scaled at one end, filled with mercury,
ter and then inverted in a small bath of mercury. Used to read
atmospheric pressure.

5. Aneroid Barome- Uses an evacuated corrugated cylinder to detect changes

ter in atmospheric pressure. Cylinder center collapses as at-
mospheric pressure increases and vice versa

6. Bourdon Tube

Made up of an elliptical section tube formed into a C-shape
and sealed at one end. This gauge can be used to read
vacuum pressure values.

7. Diaphragms/Bel- These can be used to measure gauge or differential pres-

lows sure.

8. Liquid In Glass Each liquid has its own different ranges.

Thermometer -Mercury - (-35*C to +350*C
-Alcohol - (-80*C to +70*C
An increase in temperature causes the liquid to rise up the
tube.

9. Liquid In Metal The use of a metal bulb and capillary bourdon tube filled
Thermometer with liquid offers advantages of robustness and a wide
temperature range.

10. Bimetallic Strip Made up of two different metals firmly bonded together.
Thermometer Temperature increase = metal expansion. Since the two
metals have a different rate of expansion it will cause a
bending or twisting of the strip.

11. Thermocouple Type of electrical thermometer. bi-metal solution where the

current flowing through the metals determine the temper-
ature. Ranges from (-200*C to +1400*C)

* = Degrees symbol

12. Radiation Pyrom- Considered to be a high-temperature measuring ther-

eter mometer. radiated heat signals go into a current fed
through a filament lamp which is them measured into
temperature.

13. Thermistor Electrical thermometer that uses resistance change to

measure temperature. Made up of finely divided copper
to which is added cobalt, nickel, and manganese oxides.
A change in temperature causes a fall in the resistance
which can be measured in an electrical circuit. Ranges
from (-250*C to +1500*C)

32. Differential Pres- Tells you the difference in pressure between the input/inlet
sure Gauge and outlet/discharge of a filter. ...and the difference is
shown on the black needle (the red needle reads noth-
ing...it is a marker to indicate the maximum differential
allowed). If the differential pressure gauge above: read
80, then you know the water pressure differential going
through the filter is 80 psi in this case, an 80 psi drop. The
filter would be causing an 80 psi "restriction"
