3 Benefits of Pressure Gauges

Every industrial application has different pressure requirements. The pressure required in drilling an oilfield is different from that of an aircraft industry or car engine. If there’s any fluctuations or irregularity in pressure governance, worst situations can occur.

So, how can we regulate pressure efficiently? By installing pressure gauges! 

Pressure gauges are suitable instruments employed in drilling, agriculture, automotive, and other industrial sectors to measure pressure and troubleshoot the system accurately.

Here we’ve compiled some benefits of using pressure gauges.

Benefits of Pressure Gauges

Here are some benefits of using pressure gauges.

1. Determine Pressure at any Point

The primary benefit of pressure gauges is that they can be installed anywhere in the system’s circuit to determine the pressure at that point. Imagine how unreliable and unpredictable outcomes would be if there are no pressure gauges installed in the circuit components to control system pressure.

2. Simple Format Reading

The pressure gauges indicate the reading in a simple format, easily understandable for the common people.

3. Helpful in System’s Repair and Maintenance

Pressure gauges are also helpful in troubleshooting, i.e., if any blockages or leaks occur in the system, pressure gauges can effectively reduce the pressure. This also contributes to the prompt repair of the system’s components.

6 Common Reasons for Pressure Gauge Failure

The proper functionality of pressure gauges is crucial in several industrial applications. An out-of-order pressure gauge is a workplace hazard. Here are some common reasons for pressure gauge failure:

· Rising temperature

· Moisture collection

· Rust or corrosion

· Leaks and clogs

· Pulsation and vibration

· Improper usage

What Are Some Types of Pressure Gauges?

Let’s discuss some important categories of pressure gauges.

Digital Pressure Gauges

Digital pressure gauges are widely used in industrial applications that require completely accurate readings. With these pressure gauges, there’s no need for an external operator interpretation. Moreover, there are fewer chances of parallax error with these pressure gauges and run on external energy sources like solar energy, loop power, or battery power.

Mechanical Pressure Gauges

These pressure gauges are used to measure high-pressure readings. This gauge arranges rack and pinion so that the reading value is magnified on the pointer scale. These provide a rapid and quick response.

Mud Pressure Gauges

As the name implies, these pressure gauges are widely used in harsh and challenging environments. In oil fields where fluids are being drilled out consistently, these pressure gauges ensure accurate readings without the external influence of high temperature and jeopardized environment.
