Instrument which measures pressure through the use of a quartz or tourmaline piezoelectric crystal. When subjected to pressure, the crystal develops electric charges of a magnitude which is directly proportional to the amount of pressure. Thus the output of the crystal is recorded against time and a pressure curve graph is obtained. 1, record 1, English, - piezoelectric%20gauge

Dispositif permettant de mesurer la pression à l'aide d'un cristal piézo-électrique de quartz ou de tourmaline. Lorsqu'il est soumis à une contrainte de pression, le cristal développe une tension électrique proportionnelle à cette contrainte. L'enregistrement des signaux du cristal en fonction du temps permet d'obtenir un graphique de la courbe de pression. 1, record 1, French, - capteur%20pi%C3%A9zo%2D%C3%A9lectrique
