Pressure Gauge is one of the most widely used mechanical devices for measuring pressure in various fluid systems, including water systems. It operates on a simple but effective principle, providing accurate pressure readings in both industrial and residential applications.
Advantages:
High Accuracy: When properly calibrated, Bourdon tube gauges are highly accurate.
Rugged and Reliable: Well-suited to rough conditions (e.g., vibration, moisture, dirt).
Easy to Use: The analog dial is easy to read, and users can quickly interpret the pressure levels.
Durability: The gauge is typically very durable and can withstand harsh environments. This makes it suitable for industrial and heavy-duty applications.
Wide Range of Pressures: Available in a variety of pressure ranges, from low-pressure residential systems to high-pressure industrial systems.
Mechanical Operation: Does not require electricity to function, making it ideal for use in remote locations or where power is unreliable.
Cost-Effective: These gauges are often more affordable compared to electronic alternatives.
Applications:
Bourdon tube pressure gauges are versatile and widely used in many different applications, including:
Water Systems: To monitor pressure in pipes, pumps, water tanks, and residential plumbing systems.
HVAC Systems: For maintaining optimal pressure in heating and cooling systems.
Industrial Systems: Used in factories, chemical plants, and manufacturing processes to monitor pressures of gases, liquids, and steam.
Hydraulic Systems: To monitor and control fluid pressure in hydraulic machinery.
