Presure Gauges

What is a Pressure Gauge?


A pressure gauge is a method of measuring fluid, gas, water, or steam intensity in a pressure powered machine to ensure there are no leaks or pressure changes that would affect the performance of the system. Pressure systems are designed to operate within a specific pressure range. Any deviation from the acceptable norms can seriously affect the workings of the system.

Manometer Pressure Gauge


Manometer pressure gauges measure pressure on a fluid by balancing one column of fluid against the second column of fluid. This type of pressure gauge is the simplest and consists of a transparent tube in the form of a "U" that is partially filled with a manometric fluid like mercury. In its simplest form, one end of the tube is connected to the location in which pressure is to be measured, while the other end is open to the atmosphere; this can be seen in the diagram below.
