🔍 Key Concepts

• Bourdon tube pressure gauge mechanism – how motion of the tube is transmitted to the pointer • Difference between span (range) error and zero (offset) error in calibration • What changing the linkage geometry vs. pointer position actually affects

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: if the gauge is exactly 10 psi high at every point, is the slope (span) wrong, or is the whole scale just shifted up? • Which adjustment will change the mechanical amplification of movement (and therefore the slope), and which one only re‑aligns the pointer with the correct zero? • Think: during calibration, if both the low-end and high-end readings are off by the same amount, what is the simplest mechanical way to correct that?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify whether a constant error across the entire range indicates a span error or a zero error • Identify which options change linkage length/geometry, and which simply reposition the pointer without changing the linkage • Confirm that the chosen adjustment would make the gauge read correctly at both zero and full-scale after calibration
