🔍 Key Concepts

• Bourdon tube pressure gage basic principle – how the curved tube straightens when internal pressure increases and returns when pressure is removed • Difference between applied fluid pressure and the mechanical properties (springiness) of the metal tube • Role of the linkage and gear mechanism (items 1, 2, 3 in the illustration) in transmitting, not creating, the motion

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: when the system pressure drops to zero, what force is still present that can move the tube back toward its original shape? • Look at arcs AB and DC in the illustration – are they places where fluid pressure is acting, or are they simply parts of the metal tube being deformed? • Does the spring and gear train in the middle drive the tube, or do they just follow the tube’s motion and move the pointer?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which part of the gage actually stores energy when the tube is pressurized (where is the ‘spring’ of the system?). • Confirm whether fluid pressure can pull the tube back after it is removed, or whether something in the gage’s construction must provide the restoring force. • Make sure you distinguish between indicated spring tension in the mechanism and the inherent springiness of the tube wall itself.
