B. Working Principle

The Baumer AL Pressure Gauge works on the Bourdon tube pressure measurement principle. When pressure enters the gauge through the process connection, the pressure acts on the internal stainless steel sensing element.

As the pressure increases, the sensing element changes its shape slightly. This mechanical movement is transferred through an internal movement mechanism to the pointer. The pointer moves over the calibrated dial and displays the pressure reading.

For vacuum applications, the gauge measures pressure below atmospheric pressure in the -1 to 0 bar range. For positive pressure applications, it can measure pressure up to 1600 bar, depending on the selected pressure range.

Since it is a mechanical analog pressure gauge, it does not require external power supply for local pressure indication.
