3 Terms and Metrological Unit
3.1 Terms
3.1.1 elastic element pressure gauge
a pressure measurement meter using elastic sensor as pressure element. [JJF 1008-2008, 4.1]
3.1.2 set point deviation
the difference between set value and measured value when output variable is output as required. [JJF 1008-2008, 7.10]
3.1.3 switching value
input value measured when the output is switched from one state to another one during upstroke (downstroke) of the stepping control instrument. [JJF 1008-2008, 7.11]
3.1.4 differential gap
the switching value gap of up and down stroke at the same set point. [JJF 1008-2008, 7.12]
3.2 Metrological Unit
legal metrological unit for pressure gauge is Pa or kPa, MPa, etc.
4 General
Pressure gauge is mainly used for liquid, gas and steam pressure measurement.
Working principle of pressure gauge is to press an elastic sensor (such as bourdon tube) to produce elastic deformation, with its deformation amount being a linear relation with the pressure applied, under the amplification of transmission mechanism, the pressure measured will be displayed on the index plate. Pressure gauge may be classified into bourdon tube type, capsule type, diaphragm type and bellow type based on the elastic sensors.
