Bellows
Bourdon Tube Pressure Gauge
Principle
• Cost-Effective
• Easy to Read:
• High Repeatability
Disadvantages
Metallic Slack
Diaphragm Diaphragm

Metallic Diaphragm
Construction and Working
• Pointer mechanism
• Utilizes the fact that a diaphragm with a large area produces larger
deflection even for a small change in pressure
• Good linearity.
• Difficult to repair.
