Elastic element mechanical pressure gages consisting diaphragm are basically used for the differential pressure measurement. In FODPS, diaphragm acts as a reflector. A flexible disc of plastic is used as a diaphragm to convert the measuring pressure to the deflection of diaphragm. Concentric corrugations are designed to linearise the deflections according to pressure. Reference and measuring pressures are applied to control and experimental headspaces respectively. As the pressure changes in the experimental head space, the diaphragm is deform and displaces, and distance between fiber tip and plane of diaphragm changes and thus resultant reading is proportional to the differential pressure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
