    This experiment aims to calibrate a Bourdon pressure gauge using a dead weight tester. Various loads are applied to the piston using calibrated weights, and readings are recorded from the Bourdon gauge. The theoretical pressure is calculated and compared to the measured pressure to determine the percentage error. The results show errors mostly within 6% except for a few readings, demonstrating that the Bourdon gauge can be calibrated using known dead weights.

    EXPERIMENT No: 4

    TITLE:

    “To Calibrate Bourdon Gauge By Means Of Dead Weight Pressure Calibration”

    INTRODUCTION:
    Bourdon pressure gauge is a thin-walled tube that is bent into a quarter-circular arc. The tube is rigidly
    fixed at the end where the pressure is applied, and free to move at the end. The exterior of the tube is
    usually open to the atmosphere. When the fixed end is subjected to a pressure, the arc tends to
    straighten, thus causing the tube end to move upward or downward for vacuum measurements.

    OBJECTIVE:
    To determine the dead weight pressure by using bourdon gauge.

    PROCEDURE:
     Place piston in clinder and note reading in pressure gauge
     Place 1st load on piston and note reading in pressure gauge.
     Then place 2nd load on piston and note reading in pressure gauge.
     Repeat these steps and take 10 readings in pressure gauge.
     These reading will be in Psi.
