Working
Principle of Vacuum Gauge
--How
Vacuum Gauge Work
A vacuum gauge is a measuring instrument
used to measure the pressure of a gas or liquid. Its working principle is based
on the following key principles:
1. Principle A: Boyle's Law - Boyle's Law
stipulates that at constant temperature, the pressure of a gas is inversely
proportional to its volume. Therefore, when the pressure increases, the volume
of the gas decreases; when the pressure decreases, the volume of the gas increases.
2. Principle B: Spring principle - A vacuum
gauge usually contains a spring system, one end of which is in contact with the
pressure to be measured and the other end is connected to the pointer of the
vacuum gauge. When pressure acts on the spring system, the spring undergoes
elastic deformation, which corresponds to the movement of the pointer.
3. Principle C: Introducing vacuum - The
working principle of the vacuum gauge is based on the introduction of vacuum as
a comparison reference. When the vacuum is established, the pointer will point
to the zero scale accordingly. Then, when the measured pressure acts on one
end, the pressure will act on the spring system, causing the pointer to produce
a displacement relative to the zero scale.
