2. Pressure measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_measurement

   Instruments used to measure and display pressure mechanically are called pressure gauges, vacuum gauges or compound gauges (vacuum & pressure). The widely used Bourdon gauge is a mechanical device, which both measures and indicates and is probably the best known type of gauge.

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauge_(instrument)

   The gauge is placed against the edge to be checked and any light leakage between the blade and edge indicates a mismatch that requires correction. Ring gauge: a cylindrical ring of steel whose inside diameter is finished to gauge tolerance and is used for checking the external diameter of a cylindrical object. Strain gauge

4. Pirani gauge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirani_gauge

   The Pirani gauge consists of a metal sensor wire (usually gold plated tungsten or platinum) suspended in a tube which is connected to the system whose vacuum is to be measured. The wire is usually coiled to make the gauge more compact. The connection is usually made either by a ground glass joint or a flanged metal connector, sealed with an o ...

5. Chamber pressure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chamber_pressure

   Within firearms, chamber pressure is the pressure exerted by a cartridge case's outside walls on the inside of a firearm's chamber when the cartridge is fired. The SI unit for chamber pressure is the megapascal (MPa), while the American SAAMI uses the pound per square inch (psi, symbol lbf/in 2) and the European CIP uses bar (1 bar is equal to 0.1 MPa).

6. Diaphragm (mechanical device) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaphragm_(mechanical_device)

   It serves either as a barrier between two chambers, moving slightly up into one chamber or down into the other depending on differences in pressure, or as a device that vibrates when certain frequencies are applied to it. [1] A diaphragm pump uses a diaphragm to pump a fluid. A typical design is to have air on one side constantly vary in ...
