Abstract
Abstract A PRESSURE TRANSDUCER USING A BOURDON TUBE PRODUCING AN OUTPUT SIGNAL VARIABLE WITH INPUT PRESSURE. MEASUREMENT ERRORS DUE TO NONLINEAR ELASTIC PROPERTIES OF THE TUBE ARE LARGELY ELIMINATED BY IMPOSING LATERAL AND ROTARY RESTRAINTS ON THE DEFLECTION END OF THE TUBE WITH A FORCE BALANCE LEVER SYSTEM. STOPS LIMIT MOVEMENT OF THE LEVER SYSTEM BEYOND THE NORMAL MEASUREMENT RANGE AND THUS PREVENT EXCESSIVE DEFLECTION AND STRESS OF THE TUBE IN THE EVENT OF OVERPRESSURE. DIFFERENTIAL OR ABSOLUTE PRESSURE MAY BE CONVENIENTLY MEASURED BY THE ADDITION OF A SECOND BOURDON TUBE CONNECTED IN OPPOSED RELATION TO THE FIRST TUBE.
