Diaphragm Pressure Gauges use a thin, flexible diaphragm as the sensing element to measure pressure. When pressure is applied, the diaphragm deflects, and this movement is transmitted through a mechanical linkage to a pointer on the dial.
They are especially suited for low-pressure measurement, including gases and liquids that may be corrosive, viscous, or contain solids, since the diaphragm can be made of special materials and protected with coatings. These gauges are often used in chemical, petrochemical, food, pharmaceutical, and water treatment industries where sensitive and reliable pressure readings are needed.
