Bourdon Tube Pressure Gauge Working Principle Animation
Bourdon Tube Pressure Gauge Working. Bourdon tube pressure gauges can be used to measure over a wide range of pressure: form vacuum to pressure as high as few thousand psi. It is basically consisted of a C shaped hollow tube, whose one end is fixed and connected to the pressure tapping, the other end free, as shown in fig. The cross section of the tube is elliptical.
Designing an Arduino Fuel Gauge & Warning Lights
1.) Provide a gauge that accurately monitors fuel level in order to keep from running out of gas on the track, ideally with some level of graduations that allows for planning of fuel stops. 2.) Provide a warning to driver if fuel level or oil pressure is low or coolant temp is high. Theory of operation:
Tutorial: Guided wave radar level sensors
The probe does not have to be the full length of the tank unless you need readings all the way to the bottom. If the process only needs readings in the upper half of the tank, that’s all the length you need. These points are generalities, so discuss specifics with your provider. Guided wave radar sensors are available from a variety of suppliers:

Differential pressure level measurement technique makes use of a differential pressure detector which is installed at the bottom of the tank whose level is to be detected. The liquid inside the tank creates pressure which is comparatively higher than the reference atmospheric pressure.
BASIC INSTRUMENTATION MEASURING DEVICES AND
Gauge pressure is the unit we encounter in everyday work (e.g., tire ratings are in gauge pressure). A gauge pressure device will indicate zero pressure when bled down to atmospheric pressure (i.e., gauge pressure is referenced to atmospheric pressure). Gauge pressure is denoted by a (g) at the end of the pressure unit [e.g., kPa (g)].

The Sending Unit How Fuel Gauges Work HowStuffWorks
In the sending unit, the fuel has to drop below a certain level before the float starts to drop. When the float is near the top of the tank, the wiper on the variable resistor rests close to the grounded (negative) side, which means that the resistance is small and a relatively large amount of current passes through the sending unit back to the fuel gauge.
