There are different kinds of sensors and guages which measure pressure. The first ones were mechanical. The next generation were a combination of mechanical and electrical parts, and now, some pressure detecting systems have no moving parts, and are totally electronic.
You can get gauges with instructions at auto parts stores Oil Pressure, engine temp, amps or volts
Many techniques have been developed for the measurement of pressure and vacuum. Instruments used to measure pressure are called pressure gauges or vacuum gauges.
A pressure gauge is an instrument that measures the pressure in a vessel, a line, or whatever the pressure gauge is connected to. Pressure gauges come in at least two different types: differential pressure gauges, and absolute pressure gauges. Differential pressure gauges measure - surprise - DIFFERENCES in pressure. Pressure gauges that read "zero" when not attached to anything would actually be differential gauges that measure the difference between atmospheric pressure and the pressure of whatever they are attached to. Vacuum gauges are differential gauges that measure how far BELOW atmospheric pressure the pressure is in a vessel or pipe. Gauges that measure "gauge pressure" are just differential gauges that are calibrated to measure zero at atmospheric pressure. Absolute pressure gauges would only read "zero" if they were attached to an absolute vacuum. A common type of absolute pressure gauge is a barometer. Strictly speaking, a mercury barometer is really a differential gauge that measures the difference between the vapor pressure of the mercury and the surrounding atmosphere, but the vapor pressure of the mercury is so low that the error in treating it as an absolute pressure gauge is generally negligible. There are many different kinds of gauges used to measure pressure including: Instruments hydrostatic - These measure pressure according the height of a liquid in a column. The height of the liquid is proportional to the pressure. Common types of hydrostatic gauges include: manometers, McLeod gauges, and piston gauges. aneroid - The pressure sensing element may be a Bourdon, a diaphragm, a capsule, or a set of bellows, which will change shape with changes in the pressure of whatever the gauge is attached to. The deflection of the pressure sensing element is read by a linkage connected to a needle or by a secondary transducer. The most common secondary transducers in modern vacuum gauges measure a change in capacitance due to the mechanical deflection. Gauges that rely on a change in capacitance are often referred to as Baratron gauges. Electronic sensors thermal conductivity - including two wire and one wire gauges that measure pressure via changes in the thermal conductivity of the wires as they are placed under strain. Something like this is used in a lot of electronic bathroom scales. ionization gauges - These are primarily used for measurements of low-pressure gasses. They sense pressure indirectly by measuring the electrical ions produced when the gas is bombarded with electrons. Fewer ions will be produced by lower density gases. they have to be calibrated against another type of pressure gauge and depend on the gas being measured.
A digital pressure gauge may be purchased from an auto parts store. Autozone, Advance Auto Parts, Pep Boys and NAPA are all stores that carry digital pressure gauges.
Pressure is measured in various systems and industries using instruments called pressure gauges. These gauges can be mechanical, electronic, or digital, and they typically display pressure in units such as pounds per square inch (psi) or pascals (Pa). The gauge is connected to the system or equipment where pressure needs to be monitored, and it provides a reading that indicates the force exerted by the fluid or gas within the system. Different industries may use different types of pressure gauges depending on the specific requirements of their processes.

check fuel pressure. they rent gauges at more parts stores.
The 'g' added on to bar means 'gauge', as opposed to bara, meaning 'absolute'. The 'zero' of a normal gauge is normally set at atmospheric pressure (things like tire pressure gauges, water gauges etc.) These gauges will read as "10 bar" but really mean that the absolute pressure is 10 bar + atmospheric pressure (~1.01325 bar). Some gauges however are absolute gauges. These might include weather gauges, or gauges on closed processes. bara = barg + atmospheric pressure
Many techniques have been developed for the measurement of pressure and vacuum. Instruments used to measure pressure are called pressure gauges or vacuum gauges.
A pressure gauge measures the pressure of a fluid or gas relative to atmospheric pressure, while a vacuum gauge measures pressures below atmospheric pressure. Pressure gauges typically have a positive scale, while vacuum gauges have a negative scale. Both gauges provide crucial information for monitoring and controlling pressure systems.
Pressure can be measured with a barometer, or a manometer.
