【Q&A Question 317】December 01, 2017: Why are the tubes of a pressure gauge curved? It mainly serves a stabilizing function; if it is straight, the impact force can easily damage the gauge, and the measured pressure becomes unstable.

It acts as a buffer to protect the pressure gauge
Cool the medium under test to minimize pressure fluctuations
When the equipment is in operation, it generates vibration and pulses, which cause the pressure gauge to vibrate and result in inaccurate readings
Vibrations are generated when the equipment is in operation, and the components inside the equipment also produce pulses, which cause the pressure gauge to vibrate and lead to inaccurate readings. Frequent vibrations can damage the pressure gauge; using bent pipes can resolve these problems.
The official name for a bent tube is a buffer tube; its main function is to reduce vibrations and shocks. It can also help dissipate heat from media with high temperatures, thereby protecting the pressure gauge and minimizing errors caused by changes in the gauge’s temperature.
It acts as a buffer to prevent vibrations from causing inaccurate readings; in severe cases, it can damage the pressure gauge
