Bourdon's tube pressure gauge cannot be used to measure negative pressure. This is because absolute pressure must be measured and the Bourdon gauge only indicates the gauge pressure.
A compound gauge is a pressure gauge that displays both negative and positive gauge pressure measurements. Gauge pressure is a measurement of pressure relative to ambient pressure. For example, if ambient pressure was 14.7 PSI and you were to measure absolute vaccum using a compound gauge, the gauge would indicate -14.7 PSI.
Gauge pressure usually refers to the pressure difference between ambient, atmospheric pressure and the pressure in a vessel or line. A gauge pressure of zero would mean that the vessel or line was at atmospheric pressure. Normally the pressures of interest are ABOVE atmospheric so the gauge pressure is positive. Vacuum gauge pressure measures how far BELOW atmospheric pressure a vessel or line is. As such vacuum gauge pressure may be measured as a negative number - or for convenience it may be reported as a positive number with the caveat that it is "vacuum gauge pressure", meaning that the reported pressure is how far atmospheric pressure is above the pressure in the vessel or line.
A pressure gauge measures the pressure of a fluid or gas relative to atmospheric pressure, while a vacuum gauge measures pressures below atmospheric pressure. Pressure gauges typically have a positive scale, while vacuum gauges have a negative scale. Both gauges provide crucial information for monitoring and controlling pressure systems.
A pressure gauge indicates actual pressure and a differential pressure gauge indicates the difference in pressure.
A pressure gauge is called a gauge because it typically measures pressure relative to atmospheric pressure, which is often considered as the reference point or zero point for pressure measurements. On the other hand, a meter usually measures absolute values without reference to a specific point.
These are corrugated to increase the sensitivity of the pressure gauge.
No.No.No.No.
A manometer is a pressure gauge. A micro manometer is either a really small pressure gauge, or a pressure gauge used to measure really small pressure difference.
i need to explain what an absolute pressure gauge measures

Connect the wiring harness to the back of your oil pressure gauge. Secure the oil pressure gauge with the retaining screws.
