Conway’s Engineering Master’s Thesis 12.228, 12.229, 12.230 ---Summary 12.231 12.212 NOTE: Initial testing of appartaus presented on pages 12.222 and 12.223, as well as the appartaus presented on page 12.225, contrary to industry expert opinion, indicate that the volume of a Bourdon tube changes as it flexes. Further experimentation is required as of May 31, 2022 to better understand the causes of the intial test results. The volume change of the intruding plunger relative to the Bourdon tube's flexing volume change must be determined.
