Bourdon gauge
Eugene Bourdon 1849 France measures the preasure of liquids and gasses

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.
1- high maintenance cost 2- oil leaking 3- high construction cost (tanks-gauges- man-hauls- piping)
Glycerin is used in pressure gauges to dampen vibrations that could cause inaccuracies in readings. It helps to protect the internal components of the gauge from damage due to pressure spikes or fluctuations. The glycerin also helps to lubricate moving parts within the gauge, ensuring smooth operation and prolonging its lifespan.
No, bourdon gauges are typically used for measuring pressure, not temperature. For temperature measurement, instruments such as thermocouples, thermistors, or RTDs are commonly used.
Pressure can be measured with a barometer, or a manometer.
A Barometer is one, a manometer another. In aircraft, a Pitot Tube is used to infer velocity. Otherwise, tyre gauges and other pressure gauges are appropriate in their sphere. A Bourdon Tube gauge is a common configuration.
Eugene Bourdon invented and patented the Bourdon tube pressure gauge.
