   Sensors, Bourdon Tube

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 manometer is a pressure measuring instrument, usually limited to measuring pressures lower than atmospheric. It is often used to refer specifically to liquid column hydrostatic instruments.

A vacuum gauge is used to measure the pressure in a vacuum, which is broadly divided into two categories: high and low vacuum (and sometimes ultra-high vacuum). Many of the different techniques used to measure these categories have an overlap at some point in the pressure range. By combining several different types of gauge it is possible measure system pressure from 10 mbar down to 10e-11 mbar.
