Can the bourdon gauge be used as a flow meter?
Some bourdon gauges have soft copper coils more responsive to lower pressure changes. If these are attached to a dial face that is calibrated in liter/minute, the pressure changes can be converted into a liter flow. a. For it to work properly to display the flow rate, it must have a fixed orifice downstream from the bourdon gauge. A fixed orifice would allow more gas through it as the pressure rises. b. The gauge actually measures the back-pressure created by the restricted orifice.
