From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia · Read full article · Text CC BY-SA 4.0

Pressure measurement is the measurement of an applied force per unit area by a fluid on a surface. Pressure is typically expressed in units of pascals in the International System of Units (SI). Many techniques have been developed for the measurement of pressure and vacuum. Instruments used to measure and display pressure mechanically are called pressure gauges, vacuum gauges or compound gauges. The widely used Bourdon gauge is a mechanical device, which both measures and indicates and is probably the best known type of gauge.
