Abstract
Measurement is the most fundamental idea in science. Measurement of pressure is the next-most measured process parameter after temperature. It is required almost in all process and manufacture industry. A large number of different types of pressure-measuring devices are on hand to fulfil the requirement of industry. In this chapter a glimpse on pressure, pressure units and its conversion, various types of pressure, commonly used pressure-measuring instruments, and pressure sensor’s metrological characteristics is described. The basic definitions related to metrology are described. The measuring properties of different pressure gauges are also tabulated. The approved pressure calibration and measuring capabilities (CMCs) of different countries’ national metrology institutes (NMIs) are compiled in this chapter. The NMIs have CMCs of different ranges starting from 0 pascal to 1400 MPa.
