Pressure Gauge Measurement Techniques

Pressure gauges are specially designed instruments used to measure the pressure of a given fluid media. These instruments are classified into analog and digital pressure gauges. Under each category, different types of pressure gauges exist, which are used to measure fluid conditions in different settings. Before we look at the types of pressure gauges, let’s first understand the basics of pressure and pressure measurement. What is Pressure and Why Measure It? Pressure is the force applied perpendicularly to a surface per unit area. When dealing with fluid media like gas and liquid, the pressure of the fluid is the amount of force exerted on the wall of the container at any given point. Pressure can be measured in three forms, namely:
