Pressure gauges measure gas and liquid pressure and are available in analog and digital styles. These gauges are typically used in pressure and vacuum applications, including testing, laboratory, process control and manufacturing. Pressure gauges and switches are among the most often used instruments in a plant. Therefore, one goal of good process instrumentation design is to install fewer but more useful and more reliable pressure gauges and switches.
Analog (dial) pressure gauges operate mechanically and provide easy-to-read measurements of pressure and vacuum variations. Differential pressure gauges may also fall under the analog gauge category.
Dial gauges work best in general and static applications and may not be suited for harsh operating environments. Digital pressure gauges feature a robust construction that handles mechanical vibration and are easy to read, especially in dim environments. These gauges provide more precise readings and are best for applications requiring a higher level of accuracy.
Special provison available for pressure guage along with chemical seals.
