Pressure Measurement Techniques

A C-shaped tube used in pressure gauges, and helical/spiral types for high-pressure applications.

A pressure-sensing device (often rubber) that moves in response to pressure.

A pressure-sensing device that expands or contracts with pressure changes.

A pressure sensor that changes resistance with applied pressure.

A pressure sensor made of a quartz crystal; creates electrical signal with pressure.

A pressure sensor that changes the capacitance between two plates based on pressure.

A device that measures and displays pressure, serving as a local pressure measurement.

A device that measures pressure and transmits a standardized signal to a controller (e.g., 4-20 mA).

The volume of fluid passing a point in a pipe per unit time. It's measured in units like cubic meters per second (m³/s).

The mass or weight of fluid flowing per unit time. It's often measured in pounds per hour (lb/hr).

You can use the provided conversion table to convert between different volumetric flow rate units. Each value represents the factor to multiply by to convert from one unit to another.

To convert from US gallons per day (gpd) to cubic meters per second (m³/s), multiply by 4.39 * 10⁻⁸.

To convert from US gallons per minute (gpm) to cubic meters per minute (m³/min), multiply by 0.00379.

To convert from cubic feet per minute (cfm) to cubic meters per hour (m³/h), multiply by 1.699.

To convert from cubic meters per second (m³/s) to liters per minute (liter/min), multiply by 60000.

To convert from liters per hour (liter/h) to cubic meters per minute (m³/min), multiply by 2.78 * 10⁻⁵.
