Pressure measurement

Pressure measurement refers to the process of determining the physical pressure of fluids and involves using a pressure measuring instrument such as a pressure gauge to determine and display data (also see Metrology).

Fluid columns are used in the most basic form of pressure measurement.

Spring pressure gauges are used for higher pressures. See Fig. 2 Pressure measurement

Pressure gauges are also frequently fitted with sensors, e.g. differential pressure or over-pressure sensors, which use capacitive, inductive, or piezoelectric sensing, or high-resolution sensing for transient pressure fields.
