Bourdon Gauge
Product Code : JA-ELA-5402
The Bourdon Gauge (SKU JA-ELA-5402) is a circular pressure gauge supplied by JaincoLab, 100 mm in overall diameter and 40 mm deep. Its dial reads actual (total) pressure on two scales, 0 to 50 lb/in² in steps of 1 and 0 to 3.5 kg/cm² in steps of 0.1. The case is clear Perspex, so the working parts are visible when the gauge is used in class.
Specifications
The Bourdon Gauge has a circular body 100 mm across and 40 mm deep, and a dual-scale dial for actual (total) pressure in lb/in² and kg/cm².

Teaching uses of the Bourdon gauge
A Bourdon gauge works by a curved, flattened metal tube that tends to straighten as the pressure inside it rises; a linkage turns this movement into the swing of the pointer over the dial.
