Abstract

A fluid pressure indicating device is disclosed. The fluid pressure indicating device includes a base defining an aperture therethrough, a plate separated from the base by a variable distance, the plate defining a hole therethrough, a shaft including a helical surface disposed within the hole of the plate, a first bellows extending between the base and the plate, and a second bellows extending between the base and the plate, the second bellows disposed around the first bellows, the first bellows and the second bellows defining a first chamber therebetween. The first bellows and the second bellows expand or contract in response to a difference between a pressure inside the first chamber and a pressure outside the first chamber. The variable distance between the base and the plate varies upon expansion or contraction of the first bellows and the second bellows, such that the shaft rotates relative to the plate.
