The pressure is measured via a ‘Bourdon tube’, a curved tube which straightens as the pressure in the coil increases, linked to a pointer which indicates the final pressure measurement. Pressure gauges are used widely in industrial settings, for the oil and gas, alternate fuels, chemicals, energy, food, and beverage industries, across a wide range of manufacturing processes. There are many different units used for assessing pressure, with the most popular being psi (pound per square inch), and bar (roughly equivalent to atmospheric pressure at sea level).

Due to their widely used application and importance, high-quality pressure gauge calibration services are essential for maintaining the safety and security of your daily operations. The type of machines, pressure measurements and their uses can vary widely, so it’s necessary to use a specialist to assess your device correctly. Xcalibration is a pressure gauge calibration specialist that can help you maintain the functioning and precision of your pressure gauges.
