The pressure of a fluid is applied to an elongated resiliently yieldable element in direction transverse to the elongation thereof, so as to obtain a yielding of the element which is proportional to the fluid pressure. The degree of deflection is measured with an indicator device, and the indicator of the indicator device is arrested at the point at which it indicates maximum deflection. An apparatus for carrying out the method is also disclosed.

Method and apparatus for measuring peak pressure in fluids

An electromotor is mounted on a support and has a shaft extending into the silo or the like. The shaft, which is rotated by the electromotor, carries a blade which contacts the material in the silo when the material rises to a predetermined level. This prevents the blade and shaft from further rotating, and results in the generation of a signal. A free-wheeling device connects the shaft with the motor so that the shaft and motor are coupled for joint rotation in only one direction, but not in the opposite direction.
