Elastic elements:
• Bourdon tube
• Diaphragm
• Bellow
• Capsule
Bourdon tube
• It is a tube closed at one end
• An internal cross section is elliptical
• With internal pressure variation the tube
bends or unbends Δl
• An internal pressure increase causes
the cross section to become more
circular and the shape to straighten,
resulting in motion of the closed end of
the tube
Δp
• A wide range of alloys can be used for
making Bourdon elements
• For measuring over-pressure as well as
under-pressure
• Measuring ranges:
– from (0 to 0,5) MPa to 2 000 MPa

Diaphragm
• A flexible disk, usually with
concentric corrugation
• Diaphragm converts pressure
to deflection
Concentric corrugation p
Bellows
• Bellow Δl
– This is a thin-wall metal tube
with deeply convoluted
sidewalls which permit axial
expansion and contraction
– The spring serves for
conditioning of the measuring
range
Electrical manometers
• The output signal is electric signal
• Modern and prospective sensors which are integrated
with modern microprocessor electronic circuits
