2. Bourdon gage
Curved tube of elliptical cross-section changes curvature with changes
in pressure. Moving end of tube rotates a hand on a dial through a
linkage system. Pressure indicated by gage graduated in kPa or kg/cm2
(=98.0665 kPa) or psi or other pressure units.

Example1: (Piezometers)
In figure pressure gage A reads 1.5 kPa. The
fluids are at 20oC. Determine the elevations z,
in meters, of the liquid levels in the open
piezometer tubes B and C.
Example 2: (U-manometers)
Water at 10°C is the fluid in
the pipe of Fig. 3.11, and
mercury is the manometer
fluid. If the deflection Δh is 60
cm and is 180 cm, what is the
gage pressure at the center of
the pipe?

Example 3: (U-manometers)
In Figure fluid 1 is oil (Sg=0.87) and fluid 2 is
glycerin at 20oC ( =12360 N/m3). If Patm=98 kPa,
determine the absolute pressure at point A
Example 4:
(Differential-Manometers)
Pressure gage B in figure is to
measure the pressure at
point A in a water flow. If the
pressure at B is 87 kPa
estimate the pressure at A, in
kPa. Assume all fluids at
20oC.

Example 5: (Differential-Manometers)
In figure all fluids are at 20oC. Determine the pressure difference (Pa) between
points A and B.
