The document discusses different types of Bourdon tubes used in pressure gauges, including spiral, C, and helical types. It describes the typical pressure ranges for low, medium, and high ranges as 10-100 kPa, 100-5000 kPa, and 5000-20000 kPa, respectively. The document also outlines applications of Bourdon tube pressure gauges such as for measuring gaseous and liquid pressures, in high purity and aggressive environments, as well as in semiconductor, flat panel, and gas distribution industries. Special features including helium leak testing and electro polished cases are also mentioned.

- 2. Definition: A Bourdon tube is a way of measuring pressure. Probably every mechanical dial-type pressure gauge you've ever seen is based on a Bourdon tube. Our goal here is to understand the physics of how it works. Types of different Bourdon Tubes Spiral Type C type Helical Type Range: Low range 10 100kpa Medium range 100 5000kpa : High range 5000 20000kpa Applications of the bourdon tube pressure gauge: For gaseous and liquid, also aggressive media for demanding high purity applications, also in aggressive ambience For all HP (high purity) applications Semiconductor and flat panel industry Gas distribution systems Hook-up application Special Features of the bourdon tube pressure gauge: Helium leak tested Electro polished case
