Bourdon Gauges

How Do Bourdon Gauges Work?

The Bourdon gauges work on the principle of the elasticity of the metal. The gauge has a curved, flattened tube. This tube is made of flexible material, such as stainless steel or brass, with an elliptical or circular cross-section. One tube end is closed, and the other is connected to the pressure source. When pressure is applied, the tube straightens out slightly. This causes the shape of the tube to move in a circular motion, which is then transferred to a pointer that shows the pressure on a calibrated scale. The amount of the tube movement is proportional to the pressure applied. Thus, calibrating the gauge makes it possible to accurately measure the pressure within a specified range. Bourdon gauges can be designed to measure pressure in multiple units such as pounds per square inch (PSI), bar, or kilopascals (kPa).

Beneficial Features of Bourdon Gauges

Our Bourdon pressure gauges have gained immense popularity owing to their beneficial features. Some of them are listed below.  

• Our Bourdon gauges guarantee stability and digital precision that is unmatched in various industrial segments. They offer quick and precise readings and hence used to monitor pressure changes in real time.
• They are well-recognized for mechanical simplicity and do not require any external power sources.
• Our Bourdon gauges are easy to install, operate, and maintain. This makes them a cost-effective solution for many pressure measurement applications.
• Our Bourdon industrial gauges are made using high-quality materials like brass or stainless steel. Thus, they can withstand harsh environments. Also, they can operate in a wide range of pressures and temperatures.
• These gauges are resistant to corrosion and wear.
• They can be mounted in any orientation based on the application need.
• Our Bourdon gauges require minimal maintenance, with only periodic calibration and inspection to ensure proper operation. They are relatively less susceptible to electromagnetic interference and subsequent failure than electronic pressure sensors.
• We offer attractive pricing on bulk purchases.

Applications of Bourdon Gauges

Here are some typical applications of our Bourdon pressure gauges:
