13.12 PRESSURE


13.12.1 Bourdon Tubes

Converts pressure to a linear translation. Basically a twisted section of flexible tube will try to straighten out as pressure is applied.

One end of the tube is fixed, and the other end moves freely as pressure is applied. An LVDT can be used to measure the position.
