What is the principle of pressure gauge?
pressure gauge works on hooks law principle ,when we applying pressure in end connection of the pressure gauge ,the same pressure operating at end of the bourdon tube.

How does an oil pressure gauge works?
Most oil pressure gauges operate by a varying voltage. The oil pressure changes the resistance in the oil sensor, causing the gauge to change readings.
Oil pressure gauge in dash works some time and then dont a beep sounds?
It will be a oil pressure sensor
How does a water gauge works?
To answer you question more thoroughly I will need more detail because there are several different types of water qauges. You have a water temperature gauge, water pressure gauge and water level gauges.
What is a Bourdon tube gauge?
A Bourdon Gauge is a pressure indicator, it works with a "C" shaped tube oval in cross section that tries to straighten under pressure. When the tube tries to straighten it pulls on a connecting arm which turns a needle that is against a card that states the pressure. A bourdon gauge lets you know when a stoem is headed your way.It is like a warning tool because it lets you know early so you can prepare for the storm.
Why is your oil pressure gauge going haywire in your 2003 silverado?
AnswerWhat do you mean by haywire? Without more information, all I can tell you to do right now is to replace the filter you are using with an AC/Delco filter. The oil pressure sending unit may be defective if you are getting erratic readings. I mean that the water temp gauge needle goes way past the point to where it bottoms out and so does the battery volt gauge needle and the oil pressure gauge needle and the tach needle works when it wants to.

You have a 1988 fullsize bronco and it says your oil pressure is low but it is getting oil to the top end so what could it be and how can you fix it?
First, check the gauge. Should have a single wire on the driver side of the engine, near the oil filter, connected to the oil pressure switch. (Assuming it is an electronic gauge) Unplug it from the switch and clean off all the oil and dirt. Ground the gauge by touching the end of the wire you unplugged to a metal surface on the truck. Check the gauge. It should move substantially to the right while grounded. If it does not, your gauge is bad. If it does, plug it back on and see if it works now that it is clean. If it does not, first try replacing the oil pressure switch. It's only a few bucks. Still low, try a mechanical gauge to get an accurate oil pressure reading. If the pressure is actually low, it means major engine work ahead.
