Which pressure measurement device has its construction wherein, a hollow metal tube is bent like a hook and the end is closed, connected to dial indicator? Correct Answer Bourdon tube
Explanation:
Bourdon Tube:
- Bourdon gauges are available to cover a large range of pressures.
- Bourdon gauges are purely mechanical devices utilizing the mechanical deformation of a flattened but bent tube that winds or unwinds depending on the pressure difference between the inside and the outside.
- The motion is against a spring torque such that a needle attached to the shaft indicates directly the pressure difference.
Manometer:
A simple manometer consists of a glass tube having one of its ends connected to a point where pressure is to be measured and another end remains open to the atmosphere. Common types of simple manometers are:
- Piezometer
- U-tube Manometer
- Single Column Manometer
Differential Manometers measure the difference of pressure between two points in a fluid system and cannot measure the actual pressures at any point in the system. It consists of a U-tube, containing a heavy liquid, whose two ends are connected to the points whose difference of pressure is to be measured.
- Upright U-Tube manometer
- Inverted U-tube manometer
- Inclined Differential manometer
