Question 1 of 27070

Which of the following direct pressure measuring instruments is most appropriately used for measuring extremely high pressures up to 80,000 psig?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Elastic pressure elements used in gauges (bellows, diaphragms, Bourdon tubes, helical tubes) • How pressure range affects the choice of mechanical pressure gauge type • Which elements are best for very low, medium, and extremely high pressures

💭 Think About

• Compare which of these gauge types is typically used for low-pressure or differential-pressure measurement versus very high pressure applications • Think about which element shape can safely withstand very large stress and still spring back without permanent deformation • Consider industrial systems (like high‑pressure hydraulics) that reach tens of thousands of psig—what kind of mechanical pressure element do they usually use?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which listed instruments are usually limited to low or moderate pressures because the sensing element is relatively thin or flexible • Identify which design is best known for very high pressure ranges (tens of thousands of psig) in industrial service • Verify that the chosen type can be manufactured in thick, high‑strength metal capable of withstanding up to about 80,000 psig
