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.
