Gauge Types
Industrial Gauges : Industrial quality heavy-duty sensing elements and case
designs, typically used in more demanding applications. These gauges usually
have greater accuracy requirements than general purpose gauges. The
industrial stainless steel type gauge is built for extended life and
designed for harsh corrosive environments.
Commercial Gauges : Often referred to as general purpose or equipment
gauges. Though commercial gauges may have to be ruggedly constructed, the
service conditions are not expected to be severe. Designed for low cost
without refinements, they are frequently referred to as throw-away? gauges
since it is not economical to attempt repairs on this type of gauge. Most
commercial gauges have a black ABS or painted steel case with brass internal
parts and connection.
Process Gauges : Process gauges combine the heavy-duty operating and
construction requirements of industrial gauges with the more exacting
accuracy and service life demands of many process applications. Designed for
the chemical and petroleum processing industries, the cases (typically
4-1/2? are made of corrosion resistant thermoplastic and offer a solid
front/blow out back safety case design.
Digital Gauges : Industrial quality gauges with a digital display of the
pressure or vacuum being measured. Digital readings are generally easier to
read, faster, and more accurate than standard dial type pressure gauges.
Digital gauges are typically battery powered.
Precision & Test Gauges : Dial type test gauges are cost effective,
extremely sensitive and highly accurate. These gauges are excellent for
instrument shops, gauge repair and calibration shops, testing laboratories
and other applications demanding precision and consistent results. Test
gauges feature adjustable knife-edge pointers and mirror bands on the dial
to assure precise readings.
Low Pressure Gauges : Low pressure gauges utilize a capsule sensing element
design and accurately measure pressures less than 15 PSIG. Typical measuring
units are inches of water, mm of water, oz/sq inch, and pounds per square
inch.
Specialty Gauges : Special gauges designed for specific applications. Like
fire extinguisher pressure gauge, gas test gauge, water test gauge, ammonia
pressure gauge, refrigeration pressure gauge, tire gauge, electric contact
pressure gauge etc. |
