Gauge

Pressure Gauge: A device that measures pressure or vacuum. There are many types of pressure gauges operating upon several different physical principles, depending upon the environment and the level of pressure being measured. All function by sensing the pressure level, and converting this information by either analog or digital means into a visual readout.

Things to Consider When Purchasing This Product:

ANALOG (MECHANICAL) TYPE: Case construction typically propylene or stainless steel for industrial applications, aluminum or steel for construction or commercial applications; Mounting or retrofitting needs; Wetted parts and pressure medium materials; Connection and mounting requirements; Window styles choices of plastic, clear glass, or laminated glass; Ring styles choices: threaded, bayonet, friction, crimped and hinged; Pointer type choices: micro-adjustable for high quality and accuracy, friction type for adjustability and durability, plain non-adjustable for economical reliability; Accuracy expressed as percentage (plus or minus) of full scale (Pressure Gauge Standard ASME B40.100); Measurement range and dial (maximum operating pressure of application should not exceed 75% of full range); Environmental conditions; Liquid filling (glycerine/silicone prolongs life of gauge by minimizing wear from vibration or oscillation and is a permanent lubricant for the moving parts); Range; Units of measure; Figure intervals; Minor divisions; Size (diameter); Shipping weight; Warranty DIGITAL TYPE: Range (psi), Resolution, Media (dry, wet), Media chemical compatibility, Operating temperature range, Proof pressure, Burst pressure, Pressure connection, Gauge pressure, Compound ranges, Absolute pressure, Differential pressure, Vacuum, Battery power, Battery type, Battery life, Loop power, DC power, AC power, Backlit display, Selectable units, Bar Graph, Peak, Min/Max readings, Auto-off, NEMA case, Alarms, Analog output, NIST-traceable calibration certification, Materials, Dimensions, Warranty
