Bourdon Pressure Gauge Explained

This course provides a clear and practical explanation of the Bourdon pressure gauge, one of the most widely used pressure-measuring instruments in industrial systems. The video explains how fluid pressure is converted into mechanical movement and displayed on a dial without the need for electrical power.

Through step-by-step explanations and detailed animations, learners will explore the Bourdon tube’s construction, elastic deformation principle, and mechanical linkage system that drives the pointer movement. The course also distinguishes between elastic and plastic deformation and explains why material selection is critical for long service life and accuracy.

Common applications, pressure ranges, accuracy limits, advantages, and limitations of Bourdon gauges are discussed, along with design variations used to counter vibration, pulsation, corrosion, and aggressive fluids. By the end of this course, learners will have a solid understanding of how Bourdon pressure gauges work and where they are best applied in industrial environments.
