Absolute pressure sensors and gauges produce readings that are not influenced by fluctuating atmospheric pressure. These precision instruments are used in vacuum pumps, meteorology, laboratories, and aviation/aerospace. There are different types of …
WIKA USA answers frequently asked questions (FAQs) about the basic physical principles of pressure and pressure measurement. This includes discussions of absolute pressure, atmospheric pressure, gauge pressure, and differential pressure. Pressure is generally …
Pressure measurement is all about PSI. That’s because pounds per square inch (PSI) is the most common unit for measuring pressure in the U.S. It’s important to understand what PSI means and how it is used, as pressure measurement is an important part of life in the …
The Industrial Revolution was underpinned by the fortunes of a few dozen financiers, the blood, sweat and tears of millions of factory workers, and a handful of key technical innovations. One of the key inventions of the mid-19 th century was the Bourdon gauge. …
Pressure gauge readings come in a variety of international units. In most of North America, psi (pounds per square inch) is the standard unit of pressure measurement. Industrial processes and scientific laboratories rely on gauges reading in psi to measure relative …
