Question: 1 / 1030

A Bourdon tube instrument may be used to indicate

Pressure.

Temperature.

Both pressure and temperature.

A Bourdon tube instrument is commonly used to measure pressure. The Bourdon tube operates on the principle that a curved tube tends to straighten out when pressure is applied inside it. As pressure increases, the tube straightens, and this movement is translated into a reading on the instrument's display.

While a Bourdon tube instrument is not typically used to measure temperature, it is crucial in indicating pressure accurately. Therefore, the correct answer is both pressure and temperature.
