A Bourdon tube is often found in a?
A bourdon tube is a type of curved tube where the inside radius is smaller than the outside radius. As Force = Pressure x Area this means that when a pressure is applied internally to the tube the greater surface area on the outside causes the tube to straighten out. This is connected via a mechanical linkage to dial on the front of the gauge. Your typical industrial pressure gauge is the Bourdon Tube tyep.
How do you measure tire pressure?
Tire pressure is usually measured with a small bourdon-tube gauge that is calibrated accordingly, often in PSI, pounds per square inch. Sometimes the gauge is a linear spring loaded tube instead.
How often should you backwash a sand filter on a above ground pool?
Sand filters usually have a pressure gauge in front of them indicating the back pressure before the filter.When the filter needs to be cleaned this pressure gets high. usually it has a red section on the gauge. When it hits the red it is time to think about back washing. If the gauge does not work as so often happens with these things. you can usually judge it from the lack of suction coming from the filter. After backwash you will note the pressure will be down and the suction will be up.
Bourbon whiskey is serve with water?
Quite often, to "open the bouquet."
How often should you check you tire pressure?
I check mine every other day, and keep a good tire gauge in each car.
What is a good brand for fuel pressure gauge?
Fuel pressure gauges are often specific to vehicle. The car brand you own will often make the one most reliable for your vehicle. You can also try a NAPA brand one, as they often take great care in providing quality parts.
What does pounds square inch absolute mean?
Pounds per square in is a unit for measuring pressure (force per unit area). Absolute pressure is the pressure (eg in a gas) compared to a vacuum, where the pressure is zero. Often we measure the pressure relative to the atmosphere, which has a pressure of about 14.7 pounds per square inch (psi). This relative pressure is called the gauge pressure. So a (gauge) pressure of 30 psi in a car tyre is really an absolute pressure of 14.7 + 30 = 41.7 psi. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_absolute_pressure
Why gauge glass do not break at boiler pressure?
Just like any material, it will have a pressure tolerance per square inch. For Most high pressure boilers the glass will be very small, often less than 1 square inch. This means that multipule gauges will be used together, one ontop of the other. They will be arranged in stack, collectivily known as a Boiler Gauge Glass, with each glass only showing part of the level in the drum.
What is a pressure gauge?
A pressure gauge is an instrument that measures the pressure in a vessel, a line, or whatever the pressure gauge is connected to. Pressure gauges come in at least two different types: differential pressure gauges, and absolute pressure gauges. Differential pressure gauges measure - surprise - DIFFERENCES in pressure. Pressure gauges that read "zero" when not attached to anything would actually be differential gauges that measure the difference between atmospheric pressure and the pressure of whatever they are attached to. Vacuum gauges are differential gauges that measure how far BELOW atmospheric pressure the pressure is in a vessel or pipe. Gauges that measure "gauge pressure" are just differential gauges that are calibrated to measure zero at atmospheric pressure. Absolute pressure gauges would only read "zero" if they were attached to an absolute vacuum. A common type of absolute pressure gauge is a barometer. Strictly speaking, a mercury barometer is really a differential gauge that measures the difference between the vapor pressure of the mercury and the surrounding atmosphere, but the vapor pressure of the mercury is so low that the error in treating it as an absolute pressure gauge is generally negligible. There are many different kinds of gauges used to measure pressure including: Instruments hydrostatic - These measure pressure according the height of a liquid in a column. The height of the liquid is proportional to the pressure. Common types of hydrostatic gauges include: manometers, McLeod gauges, and piston gauges. aneroid - The pressure sensing element may be a Bourdon, a diaphragm, a capsule, or a set of bellows, which will change shape with changes in the pressure of whatever the gauge is attached to. The deflection of the pressure sensing element is read by a linkage connected to a needle or by a secondary transducer. The most common secondary transducers in modern vacuum gauges measure a change in capacitance due to the mechanical deflection. Gauges that rely on a change in capacitance are often referred to as Baratron gauges. Electronic sensors thermal conductivity - including two wire and one wire gauges that measure pressure via changes in the thermal conductivity of the wires as they are placed under strain. Something like this is used in a lot of electronic bathroom scales. ionization gauges - These are primarily used for measurements of low-pressure gasses. They sense pressure indirectly by measuring the electrical ions produced when the gas is bombarded with electrons. Fewer ions will be produced by lower density gases. they have to be calibrated against another type of pressure gauge and depend on the gas being measured.
What is the best gauge for fragile veins?
The best gauge for fragile veins would depend on many factors. The patient often already knows what gauge you should use. Most often that is a butterfly because they are the smallest available.
What 3 gauges should be checked often while driving?
Speedometer, fuel gauge, and temperature gauge.
Your 95 Intrepid will not get up to speed because when you push the gas it backfires and bogs tt starts ok sometimes and then will not for a while you just changed wires sparks fuel filter and EGR?
Use a fuel pressure gauge to determine the fuel PRESSURE at the delivery rail. Most injected vehicles have a test port for fuel pressure, and it's usually mounted on the fuel rail. You'll need to find out the manufacturers recommended pressure but you should be able to get that at an auto parts retailer (same place you can often borrow a fuel pressure gauge). Low fuel pressure will often cause a lean condition when you try to get more fuel into the engine and it can act exactly like the problem you're describing. But then, so can other things.
