The Bourdon pressure gauge uses the principle that a flattened tube tends to change to be straightened or larger circular cross-section when pressurized. Although this change in cross-section may be hardly noticeable, and thus involving moderate stresses within the elastic range of easily workable materials, the strain of the material of the tube is magnified by forming the tube into a C shape or even a helix, such that the entire tube tends to straighten out or uncoil, elastically, as it is pressurized.
Bourdon gauge
Bourdon gauge is a type of aneroid pressure gauge consisting of a flattened curved tube attached to a pointer that moves around a dial. As the pressure in the tube increases, the tube tends to straighten and the pointer indicates the applied pressure.

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.

Bourdon gauge
Eugene Bourdon invented and patented the Bourdon tube pressure gauge.
Bourdon's tube pressure gauge cannot be used to measure negative pressure. This is because absolute pressure must be measured and the Bourdon gauge only indicates the gauge pressure.
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.
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.
