Are seismic pressure gauges also a type of Bourdon tube pressure gauge?

Are seismic pressure gauges also a type of Bourdon tube pressure gauge? What is the difference from ordinary pressure gauges? If the medium is methanol, which is flammable and explosive, what type of pressure gauge should be chosen? What are the different types of pressure gauges? There are diaphragm type, bellows type, and diaphragm-type ones – what other types exist, and what are the differences between them? What is the difference between diaphragm type and Bourdon tube serta diaphragm type?

Seismic-resistant pressure gauges are also bellows-type pressure gauges (Bourdon tube pressure gauges/stainless steel pressure gauges); they are seismic-resistant because more robust welding rods and other measures are used during the welding of their internal components. Methanol is not corrosive, so a regular pressure gauge will suffice. As long as it is an ordinary pressure gauge, it is a Bourdon tube pressure gauge (bellow type pressure gauge/stainless steel pressure gauge); this refers to the measuring element ; Bellows have absolutely nothing to do with pressure gauges ; Diaphragms and similar components refer to a type of medium isolation/method for pressure measurement in process connections ; The diaphragm is also known as a separator; there are also diaphragm gauge pressure meters (used for measuring very low pressures or negative pressures).

A so-called shock-resistant pressure gauge is simply a Bourdon tube pressure gauge with damping silicone oil filled inside it; therefore, it also belongs to the category of Bourdon tube pressure gauges

It seems that the poster still needs to gain a better understanding of gauges; once you see various types of pressure gauges in person, you’ll understand better, especially those with diaphragm boxes, diaphragms, or membranes – you’ll get it once you see them. It’s best to be able to see their internal structure as well, otherwise relying only on textual descriptions and theories remains rather vague
