Pressure Gauges

Pressure Gauges

Pressure gauges measure and visually indicate fluid or gas pressure within industrial process systems. Utilizing precision components such as Bourdon tubes, diaphragms, or capsule elements, they translate applied pressure into mechanical displacement, driving an analog pointer across a calibrated scale for immediate, clear pressure indication.

In industrial process control, pressure gauges are invaluable for ensuring operational safety, maintaining system performance, and verifying equipment integrity. They provide operators with direct visual confirmation of pressure levels, enabling timely corrective actions, troubleshooting, and preventive maintenance. Additionally, they serve as critical safety instruments, quickly alerting personnel to potentially hazardous deviations in system pressure.

Typical applications include monitoring pressures in hydraulic systems, steam boilers, compressed air networks, chemical reactors, pipelines, pumps, compressors, and storage tanks. They are widely used across diverse industries, including oil and gas, chemical processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, power generation, water and wastewater treatment, HVAC, and food and beverage production.

Pressure gauges designed for industrial use typically feature robust construction, corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel or brass, and rugged housings suitable for harsh conditions. Specialized versions with liquid-filled cases dampen vibration effects, and units certified for hazardous areas (ATEX, IECEx) provide reliable operation even in explosive atmospheres, ensuring safe and consistent process monitoring.
