resistance pressure gauge
1pressure gauge — 1. an instrument for measuring the pressure of a gas or liquid. 2. an instrument used to determine the pressure in the bore or chamber of a gun when the charge explodes. [1860 65] * * * Instrument for measuring the condition of a fluid (liquid or …
2Pressure measurement — The construction of a bourdon tube gauge, construction elements are made of brass Many techniques have been developed for the measurement of pressure and vacuum. Instruments used to measure pressure are called pressure gauges or vacuum gauges. A… …

4Pressure vessel — Vertical pressure vessels installed in a structure A pressure vessel is a closed container designed to hold gases or liquids at a pressure substantially different from the ambient pressure. The pressure differential is dangerous and many fatal… …
5pressure — 1. A stress or force acting in any direction against resistance. 2. (P, frequently followed by a subscript indicating location)In physics and physiology, the force per unit area exerted by a gas or liquid against the walls of its container or… …
6strain gauge — Geol. a type of extensometer designed for geophysical use. Also called strainmeter /strayn mee teuhr/, strainometer /stray nom i teuhr/. [1905 10] * * * Device for measuring the changes in distances between points in solid bodies that occur when… …
7Strain gauge — Typical foil strain gauge. The gauge is far more sensitive to strain in the vertical direction than in the horizontal direction. The markings outside the active area help to align the gauge during installation. A strain gauge (also strain gage)… …

9Atkinson resistance — is commonly used in mine ventilation to characterise the resistance to airflow of a duct of irregular size and shape, such as a mine roadway. It has the symbol R and is used in the square law for pressure drop,:Delta P = frac{ ho {actual{ ho… …
10McLeod gauge — A glass McLeod gauge, drained of mercury A McLeod gauge is a scientific instrument used to measure very low pressures, down to 10 6 Torr. It was invented in 1874 by Herbert McLeod (1841–1923).[1] McLeod gauges were once commonly found attached to …
