Bourdon tube pressure gauges are the most common type in many areas and are used to measure medium to high pressures. They cover measuring spans from 600 mbar to 4,000 bar. The measuring element is a curved tube with a circular, spiral or coiled shape, commonly called a bourdon tube. This tube moves outward when the pressure inside the tube is higher than the external pressure, and inward when the internal pressure is lower. This motion is proportional to the pressure to be measured, and it is coupled to the pointer mechanism
