Bourdon gauge
Bourdon gauge n (General Physics) a type of aneroid pressure gauge consisting of a flattened curved tube attached to a pointer that moves around a dial. As the pressure in the tube increases the tube tends to straighten and the pointer indicates the applied pressure [C19: named after Eugène Bourdon (1808–84), French hydraulic engineer, who invented it]Bourdon gauge
Bourdon gauge: see pressurepressure,
in mechanics, ratio of the force acting on a surface to the area of the surface; it is thus distinct from the total force acting on a surface. A force can be applied to and sustained by a single point on a solid.

Bour·don gauge (bŭr'dŏn gāj) A type of measuring device used with compressed medical gas. It consists of a coiled metal tube connected to gears and an indicator needle. The tube is straightened and the needle moves in proportion to the gas pressure. The device may also be calibrated to measure flow. Bourdon gaugeA low-pressure flow metering device.
