WHAT MAKES IT WORK? #15 How a Pressure Gauge Works tubalcain bourdon tube

Did you ever wonder how an air pressure gauge worked worked?
Be sure & watch all the videos in this series,

[@mycompasstv]

Fantastic. "Never before seen on youtube." I love that line. Great post!

[@mrpete222]

+mycompasstv Thanks

[@fazalumer1407]

I just wanna know from where the pressure is entering and forcing the that copper coil to move !

[@guitarttimman]

The air enters through a manifold and actually travels into the bourdon tube.

[@RobertWierzbowski]

Great explanation, but that line really took it to another level 😂

[@marknailis]

As a lecturer in engineering. This has really helped me explain this. You are brilliant.Thank you.

[@mrpete222]

👍👍👍

[@abcdepartmentofelectricale2920]

Never before experience. This is the TRUE way of teaching the mechanism

[@ollienash6747]

I never seen the inside of a pressure gauge before and always wondered how it works. I am a mature student maintenance apprentice based in the UK and this has helped so much. Thank you Mr Pete!

[@ExtantFrodo2]

I had no idea the copper piece was a tube. I couldn't figure out for the life of me how this worked. Thanks.

[@mrpete222]

[@monteprovolt2253]

I learn something new every day. At 62 years of age, I look forward to your shop class on KZbin.

[@mrpete222]

+Monte Provolt Thanks

[@BParker55]

OMG Tubalcain! Work and learning throughout my life always brings me back here!

[@mrpete222]

👍👍👍

[@roylucas1027]

Mr. Pete. I would have loved to have had you as a teacher. Oh, my mistake, I have you as a teacher now. Thank you.

[@mrpete222]

+Roy Lucas Thanks

[@TEAMPHY6]

Man I wish there were still shop classes and teachers like this. Adding this to my homeschooling playlist.

[@mrpete222]

👍👍

[@fernandgeenevan8773]

Hi Mr. Tubelcain, I've known for many years how these things work, but have never seen a demonstration like this. I hope that a lot of young dogs will be viewing this! Thanx!

[@uncut_cowboy]

Tha ks so much, I was trying to understand this while reading a textbook on the subject and I'm really a visual learner so I appreciate your efforts

[@mrpete222]

👍👍

[@Nelsjd]

Very interesting Mr. Pete! Your manner of teaching makes it very entertaining for us 45 year olds!!!

[@ArminHasitzka]

Exactly what I was looking for; seeing a bourdon tube in action!

[@terrylarotonda784]

Once a teacher always a teacher. Fantastic job. Thank you.

[@mrpete222]

+Terry LaRotonda Thank you very much

[@timhyatt9185]

of all the things I took apart as a kid, one of these gauges was never at my disposal to look into.....I always figured it was some sort of spring loaded plunger, but this seems like a far more durable, and ingeniously elegant method.....thanks!

[@mrpete222]

+Tim Hyatt Thanks

[@johnnyfrazier2969]

I’d never explored the inner workings of a pressure gauge until just now. I am north of (60) years old and taking Operations and Instrumentation courses at TSTC in Marshall, Texas. Again, I’ve used air-pressure gauges in all kinds of work oblivious to their mechanics ... until today ☀️ A note of thanks for your guided tour. How It Works - Bourdon Tube. I took detailed notes that I might describe it’s working as well. JA Frazier, Marshall, Texas

[@mrpete222]

Glad you liked it

[@kymion]

I've made the decision to watch one of your videos every day until I've seen all of them. They really are both entertaining and informative and we thank you for making them.

[@garryhammond7619]

As always, clear and simple. Many thanks for another superb video Mr Pete.

[@MrSpinteractive]

Fascinating. What an elegant piece of mechanical technology.

[@mrpete222]

+MrSpinteractive Thanks

[@WSCLATER]

Excellent clear demonstration.

[@grahamspencer903]

Thanks for a great instructional video! I have a bicycle floor pump, with a similar gauge, that I guess I must have dropped a few years ago. Since then, it has read about 15psi at no pressure. I have always just added 15 to the reading. After watching your video, I opened it up and was able to squeeze the curved "loop linkage" with a small pair of needle-nosed pliers to re-calibrate it to read zero at zero pressure. I then checked it on a tire pumped to 50psi against a new pump and it was bang on! Thanks to you, I feel like I have learnt and accomplished something today!

[@mrpete222]

Thank you, I'm glad it worked out for you

[@FarmCraft101]

Awesome Mr. Pete. I usually am the guy wondering how things work, taking things apart, etc, but it never occurred to me to consider a pressure gauge for some reason. I use them all the time, but had no idea how they worked.

[@TheMan4407]

Never thought how pressure gauges actually measure pressure. Thank you for the great explanation and demonstration!!

[@tmatheson]

Pete thank you so much. I’m making a miniature one for a steam engine and was having trouble understanding the bourdon tube. Now I do. And of course I was delighted to see it was Tubalcain when I found it.

[@mikec.1259]

Good video Mr. Pete. I think that's the only thing I never tore apart to see how it works. Thanks for doing the honors.

[@patricktusiime622]

You're the best at explaination.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks

[@chriscapobianco9763]

Thank you again keep up the great work simplicity keeps the mind young!

[@mrpete222]

+chris capobianco Thanks

[@erik6456]

I have learned a lot by watching this series. Keep it up.

[@morgannahyde7502]

Spent a considerable portion of my wage slave years in a fossil power plant in the Apple. There were large "steam" gauges in the various boiler control rooms with drum pressure brought right down to the back of the board. Woowie! By the time I retired in 2000 that was all replaced by local pressure transducers mounted locally with a 4-20 ma current loop output into various electronic "stuff".

[@GlynRobinson]

Mr. Pete!! Thank you so much for this video. My gauge in my air tank will not zero out. Now I know how I can calibrate it. You’re right, never before seen on KZbin! Take care, Sir!

[@mrpete222]

Thanks

[@yayitsmoosh590]

This helps me with my science exam! Thanks for making this video! :)

[@frankbonsignore.RochesterNY]

Excellent presentation! Thank you!

[@ricardobernalc6170]

Great MrPete, Many thanks from a mechanical engineering student.

[@lifeinmy30s90]

This video is amazing! I use it all the time to explain how pressure transmitters on aircraft work! We love THE BOURDON TUBE!

[@mrpete222]

Thanks

[@thegreatnormad3424]

You did an exceptional explanation 🎉

[@ellenmayara8414]

So nice to show this to everybody, thanks!

[@roaaexe]

thank you so much for making this video, sir. i have an essay on how the guage work and i've never touched one before so i had to seek youtube's help.

[@Yamanistudies]

Loved it, thanks... helps me understand some of the theory concepts for my forthcoming IE exam

[@pjhalchemy]

Great analogy with the party favor, Mr. Pete. Pretty interesting engineering when you think of it. The radial travel of a specific type of formed copper tube expanding/contracting in some preconceived pattern, translated by gear ratios, and the linear linkage/ adjustments to a rotating shaft, needle and linear scale...impressive. Eddie currents are another favorite. Thanks!

[@mrpete222]

+pjsalchemy Thanks

[@canidsong]

This is great. I've never taken one of these apart. Now I know how to make an adjustible pressure switch.

[@not2fast4u2c]

I knew how they work...But now I know how they are calibrated Thanks for the Very detailed video !!!

[@mrpete222]

+not2fast4u2c Thanks

[@P61guy61]

Another great video. Thanks for posting.

[@supanaratn7558]

Mr. Pete thank you for educated and entertain me. Love your teaching style.

[@mrpete222]

😀

[@davida1hiwaaynet]

Thanks! I love the old, ornate, fancy pressure gauges. I have a 6" Ashcroft air gauge that is probably 50 or more years old.

[@mrpete222]

+davida1hiwaaynet Thanks

[@AwesomeFuture777]

That's really awesome! Never before have I seen how these work. I can't wait to see your other videos as well. Thank you for creating these very educating videos.

[@mrpete222]

👍👍

[@chrisforrest3551]

Again your rears of knowledge helped me solve a problem,milton compression tester would not zero.by bending the brass loop,fixed the gauge,and tested accurate Mr Pete you are the best preciate ya

[@mrpete222]

Glad I helped

[@michaell4527]

Very educational and very good quality.

[@Londonbridge978]

I'm a calibration technician and thank you for the video! This info is very useful.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks

[@mzt_narisumashi001]

Thank you, it's a very helpful demo for my class. Much vivider than 2D images on the textbook.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks, I'm glad I clarified it for you

[@anupjain8605]

you are the excellent teacher, the explanations and the reasons are head on. i am mechanical engineering student and your channel is the best one to get the practical knowledge. thanks a lot.

[@Lee-qp6gf]

What a great subject. They just get better. Thanks for your time.

[@mrpete222]

Fantastic video, very informative.

[@garyc5483]

Excellent tutorial as usual mrpete. regards from the UK

[@mrpete222]

+Gary C Thanks

[@martinwalters1954]

Ok ok. You got my curiosity up. I did a search on "bourdon tube". I'd post a link to why I now remember why I became a guitarist/musician instead of an engineer, but youtube won't let me. But then, each choice of a vocation will sometimes lead you to the same reality. In this case.... Berelli Lagreen. However..that's a whole 'nuther animal. Never the less.. thanks Mr. Pete.. I learned something. Which at 71 defy's the axiom of.."ya can't teach an old dog..." well...you know.

[@mrpete222]

+Martin Walters Thanks for watching

I’m glad you like the video, and thank you for subscribing. You have 1400 videos to watch.

[@Farmall4ever]

Very nice demonstration and explanation! Have never pulled one apart to see how it worked! I grew up in Amboy, IL on my parents farm. (just north of you on route 52) my high school shop/welding/carpentry teacher was just like you. Very talented at explaining and teaching young minds. Mark Streit was his name. Keep up the vids. I live in Indianapolis,In now. I always pass by your town on our way to my parents and say " theirs mr Petes place!" 👍🏻

[@mrpete222]

+Cory Fredericks Been thru Amboy many times

Thank you so much for all of the help

[@mrpete222]

👍

[@leifmann903]

This is a good overview of how a pressure gauge works. This guy gets down to business and avoids non-related chitter chatter. His cracked skin fingers tattooed with black grease only lend real-world credibility to his comments. Right on, dude!
