Measuring principle Bourdon tube pressure gauge
Bourdon tube pressure gauges contain measuring elements (Bour-
don tubes) which are deformed if pressure is applied. This motion is
transmitted to a movement.
Bourdon tubes are tubes with a oval cross-section, bent into a circle.
The pressure to be measured acts on the inside of the tube so that
the oval cross-section approximates a circular shape. The bending of
the Bourdon tube causes ring tension which bends the tube open.
The loose tube end performs a movement which is a measure of the
pressure.
Circular tubes with an angle of 270° are typically used for pressures
of up to 60 bar; for greater pressures, the tubes with several helical
windings are used.

The Bourdon tubes usually consist of copper alloys or alloyed steel.
Because of their sturdiness and the easy handling, the Bourdon tube
pressure gauge is the most commonly used pressure gauge in tech-
nical pressure measurement.
Bourdon tube pressure gauge NS50 with inductive contact
The inductive contacts used in RF50 Ex IK1.2/RF50 IK1.2 pressure
gauges are non-contacting electric displacement pick-ups (proximity
switches) as per EN 50227 / NAMUR. The output signal is deter-
mined by the presence or the absence of a control flag in the elec-
tromagnetic field of the proximity switch. The electromagnetic field is
concentrated between two opposing coils. The switch is activated
when the control flag moved by the gauge pointer reaches the air
gap between the two coils. The signal is generated without a delay,
according to the motion of the gauge pointer.
If the control flag is outside of the air gap between the two coils, the
system is low-resistance (approx. 1000 Ohm), the current input is
then > 3 mA. If the control flag is in the air gap between the two coils,
