pressure gauge manufacturer

To all extreme feminists out there, I apologize, but I readily admit that there are some things I would rather just have a man do for me. I’m all about being an independent woman making a living and supporting myself; however, when it comes to things mechanical or electrical…that’s just what they are to me – thingies. Say I encounter a pressure gauge in real life: I wouldn’t give much thought to the thingy. I’m good just as long as my tires have the right pressure and my doctor says I have healthy blood pressure. I did, however, discover some tips for selecting pressure gauge manufacturer

First of all, if you are replacing an old pressure gauge – DO NOT THROW IT AWAY! Seems like common sense, right? If you have a part number and the actual part, it makes life a lot easier. Also, if you know the necessary connection size and mounting (back or lower/stem mount), you’re in good shape. Next, you will need to know the pressure range (pounds per square inch, or “psi” is standard) of your application and the space available for the fit of the new gauge. The most accurate readings for analog meters with needles are found within the middle third of the gauge. This means that you should buy one that’s about twice your normal operating pressure. For an air compressor with a normal working pressure of 50 psi, select a gauge with a 100 psi range, so the needle will land within the most accurate thermometer manufacturer region of the gauge.

Keep this rule of thumb in mind: if the needle is pointing straight up, the operating pressure is normal. This way, if you have an easy visual of the gauge, you can quickly tell if things are OK. Remember, don’t select a range that is too low. If your pressure does go above normal, you want some space to spare so your gauge won’t break. Always choose a bigger psi if you can’t find one exactly twice your working pressure. If a 160 psi gauge is not in stock, a 200-psi gauge can be substituted. Gauge dial sizes range from 1 inch to 10 inches, accommodating spatial limitations and easy readability. The 2 ½ inch gauge is the most common size, offering hundreds of options.
