| 单词 | Bourdon gauge |
| 释义 | Bourdon gauge A pressure gauge consisting essentially of a C-shaped or spiral tube with an oval cross section. One end of the tube is connected to the fluid whose pressure is to be measured and the other end is sealed. As the pressure inside the tube is increased, the oval tube tends to become circular and this causes the tube to straighten. The movement of the end of the tube is transferred by a simple mechanism to a needle moving round a dial or to a digital display. With suitable design. Bourdon gauges can be used for high-pressure measurement and also for low pressures. It was invented by Eugène Bourdon (1804–88) |
