A pressure gauge is a tool for measuring water, gas, fluid, or steam intensity in a pressure-powered machine. This method helps make sure there are no pressure changes or leaks that would hinder system performance. The pressure gauge dial size often ranges from 1 ½ inches (40mm) to 16 inches (400mm). The size is typically […]
