Bourdon gauges are used for measuring pressure (kg/cm2) ?

Correct answer: A. > 2 (gauge)

  • A. > 2 (gauge)
  • B. < atmospheric
  • C. 10 (absolute)

Explanation

Bourdon gauges are mechanical pressure instruments generally used for positive, moderate-to-high gauge pressures, commonly above about 2 kg/cm² in this classification. Pressures below atmospheric require a vacuum gauge arrangement rather than the usual pressure gauge.
