In 1849, B. Schäffer patented the design of a diaphragm pressure gauge. The following year he formed a business partnership with his brother-in-law C.F. Budenberg, The Schäffer & Budenberg Machinery & Boiler Fittings Company, in the altstadt of the Prussian town of Magdeburg Germany. They began manufacturing pressure gauges and all items ...

The kilopound per square inch (ksi) is a scaled unit derived from psi, equivalent to a thousand psi (1000 lbf/in 2).. ksi are not widely used for gas pressures. They are mostly used in materials science, where the tensile strength of a material is measured as a large number of psi.
Aneroid gauges are not dependent on the type of gas being measured, unlike thermal and ionization gauges, and are less likely to contaminate the system than hydrostatic gauges. The pressure sensing element may be a Bourdon tube , a diaphragm, a capsule, or a set of bellows, which will change shape in response to the pressure of the region in ...
A submersible pressure gauge is used to keep track of the contents of the diver's air tank. Another gauge is used to measure the hydrostatic pressure, usually expressed as a depth of sea water. Either or both gauges may be replaced with electronic variants or a dive computer. [37]
HPGAG – high-pressure gauge; HPHT – high-pressure high-temperature; HPPS – HP pressure log [clarification needed] HPU – hydraulic power unit; HPWBM – high-performance water-based mud; HRCC – HCAl of caliper (in inches) HRLA – high-resolution laterolog array (resistivity logging tool) HRF – hyperbaric rescue facility/vessel
Any two successive gauges (e.g., A and B) have diameters whose ratio (dia. B ÷ dia. A) is (approximately 1.12293), while for gauges two steps apart (e.g., A, B, and C), the ratio of the C to A is about 1.12293 2 ≈ 1.26098. Similarly for gauges n steps apart the ratio of the first to last gauges is about 1.12293 n.
