A pressure gauge adapted for use in measuring the pressure of a thixotropic fluid subject to aggregation stagnation in which aggregation of the fluid is prevented by controlling stagnation of a magnetic coating liquid in the vicinity of a pressure sensor, and product quality is improved by removing air mixed into the liquid. An outlet is formed at the vertex of a conical holder. An inlet is formed in the conical surface of the holder at a location offset from the center of the cone defining the holder, which is contained in the outlet. A pressure indicator is mounted in the opening portion in the plane of the cone defining the holder.
In a pressure gauge comprising a pressure sensor, a holder having an inlet and an outlet to and from which fluid is let in and out, and a pressure indicator connected to said pressure sensor, the improvement wherein at least an inner space of said holder is substantially conical, said pressure sensor is provided on a base surface of said conical inner space, said outlet is formed at a vertex of said conical inner space, and said inlet is disposed in a conical surface of said conical inner space close to said base surface of said conical inner space so as to create a flow of fluid in a direction tangent to said conical surface of said conical inner space and such that the incoming fluid from said inlet flows parallel to said base surface of said pressure sensor.
