The pressure inside a Bourdon tube pressure gauge causes the tube to straighten. As the internal pressure increases, it exerts force on the curved shape of the tube, causing it to uncoil or straighten out. This movement is then translated into a pointer movement on the gauge dial, indicating the pressure level.

Why a paper pipe squeeze when air is blown through it?

A paper pipe can squeeze when air is blown through it due to the difference in pressure created by the airflow. As air moves quickly through the pipe, it creates a low-pressure area inside the pipe. If the external atmospheric pressure is greater than the internal pressure, it can cause the walls of the paper pipe to collapse inward. This phenomenon is a result of the principles of fluid dynamics and pressure differentials.


What would cause a drastic drop in water pressure after removing and capping dead end plumbing?

Did you interupt a loop? Perhaps loosened an old joint or two. Dislodged pieces of corrosion inside the run. Somehow introduced foreign material into the pipes.


Does friction in pipes cause heat and pressure drop?

Simple answer: Yes.


What will cause low water pressure on a residential house with a well?

There are many cause of this, but the primary reasons are in the pressure tank. The tank MUST have residual air pressure of around 27 psi to drive the water system. To analyse further I need to know what kind of tank you have and what air pressure is in it when the water ceases to flow. I need to know what pressure your pump starts and if the tank feels heavy (full of water) when the pressure is low.


What can cause water pressure to slowly drop after the main water valve is shut off and no faucets drip or visable leaks?

With no air in the system anywhere, there would be nothing to hold pressure, so the slightest leak would cause the system to go to zero.

How do particles inside a car tire cause pressure on the tire?

they hit the walls/side of the tyre and that builds pressure


How do moving molecules cause pressure inside a cylinder of butane?

Moving molecules in a cylinder of butane collide with the walls of the cylinder, creating a force per unit area known as pressure. The more molecules and the faster they are moving, the higher the pressure inside the cylinder.


Can constant pressure on the stomach cause miscarriage at 6 months?

No, the fetus is safe inside.


What would happen to a balloon heated up?

Heating up a balloon will cause the air inside it to expand, which will increase the pressure inside the balloon. If the pressure exceeds the balloon's strength, it will pop or burst.


Which change would cause a freely moving piston to lower?

Increasing the pressure inside the piston cylinder would cause the piston to lower since the higher pressure pushes down on the piston.


Is there inert gas inside a thermometer?

No. The tube inside a thermometer is vacuum. If there was a gas inside, the pressure changes due to temperature changes would cause the liquid inside to expand/contract unevenly.


Air pressure inside the funnel cloud of a tornado is extremely what?

The air pressure inside the funnel cloud of a tornado is extremely low. The pressure can be significantly lower than the surrounding air, which contributes to the destructive nature of tornadoes as it can cause buildings to implode and objects to be lifted and thrown.


Why did your ears pop during a tornado?

Your ears pop when air pressure changes. The pressure inside a tornado is much lower than its surroundings.


Why your eardrum burst outwardly in space?

In space, there is no air pressure to balance the pressure inside your ears. If the pressure inside your ear is significantly higher than the pressure outside, it can cause your eardrum to burst outwardly. This can happen if you hold your breath and strain, as the air in your lungs builds up pressure and pushes against the eardrum.


What would cause a balloon to expand if taken to the top of a mountain?

Lowered Pressure


What happens to the pressure in a bottle of water if you press the stopper at the top down farther?

Increasing the pressure on the stopper in a bottle of water will compress the air inside, which in turn increases the pressure. This will cause the pressure inside the bottle to rise. Conversely, releasing the stopper will decrease the pressure inside the bottle as the air expands.
