Abstract: A pressure guiding bump is configured on the center of a pressure gauge to obtain a single “conductivity--pressure” curve feature which is independent from any position wherever a pressure is applied on the guiding bump. When a pressure is applied, the guiding bump guides the pressure against a fixed deformable area to be deformed, whatever the pressure is, the deformed area is nearly a same area. The pressure gauge is extraordinarily adequate to be designed in a weighing machine with parallel connection in between them.
