Pressure 
 Pressure (P) expresses the magnitude of normal force(F) per 
unit area(A) applied on the surface. 
 SI units :- Pascal (N/m²) 
 Other units:- bar(=10⁵ pa),atm (=101.3kpa), 
 mm of hg or ( torr = 0.133322kpa)
Principle:- The bourdon tube works on a simple 
principle that a bent tube will change its shape . 
As pressure is applied internally, the tube straightens 
and returns to its original form when the pressure is 
released . 
The tip of the tube moves with the internal pressure 
change and is easily converted with a pointer onto a 
scale.
Advantages:-  Inexpensive 
Wide operating range 
 Fast response 
 Good sensitivity 
 Direct pressure measurements 
Disadvantages:- 
Hysteresis on cycling 
Sensitive to temperature variations 
Limited life when subjected to shock and vibrations 
Applications:- 
These devices should be used in air if calibrated for air and 
in liquid if calibrated
Diaphragm Gauge of 
pressure measurements 
The diaphragm is a flexible disc, which can be 
either flat or with concentric corrugations and is made from 
sheet metal with high tolerance dimensions. 
The diaphragm can be used as a means of isolating the 
process fluids, or for high pressure applications. 
It is also useful in providing pressure measurement with 
electrical transducers (LVDT). 
It is used as primary pressure transducers in many dynamic 
pressure measuring devices.
 Diagram:-
 Types of diaphragms :-
consider, 
pw= deflection developed due to pressure difference, 
P(ext.)=applied pressure (measured pressure), 
P(ref)= atmospheric pressure, a= radius of diaphragm 
t= thickness, E= young’s modulus, γ= poison’s ratio, 
Δp= difference in pressure, 
Now deflection can be given by; 
3Δ푝푎⁴(1−γ2) 
W= 
16퐸푡³ 
{γ for metal= 0.3-0.5) 
Let k =3a⁴(1-γ²)/ 16Et³, 
therefore, w= k*Δp
Advantages :- 
Good for low pressure 
Inexpensive 
Wide range 
Reliable and proven 
Used to measure gauge, atmospheric and differential 
pressure.
Linear variable differential 
transformer(LVDT) 
This type of pressure measurement relies on the 
movement of a high permeability core within 
transformer coils . the movement is transferred from 
the process medium to the core by use of a diaphragm , 
bellows or bourdon tube. 

Working principle :- 
 The LVDT operates on the inductance ratio between 
the coils. The primary coil is located between two 
secondary coils and is energized with an alternating 
current . Equal voltage are induce in the secondary coil 
if the core is in the center when the core is moved from 
the center position the result of the voltages in the 
secondary winding will be different.
