Temperature pressure gauge are an indispensable instrument when it comes to measuring pressure levels. To make things easier for end users, they come equipped with a variety of features and options. Sometimes the presence of multiple features is what leads to confusion about the most suitable pressure gauge for your requirements. Depending on your requirements and usage conditions, it is not very difficult to choose the right gauge with some guidance. Here are a few tips that will guide you in making the right choice.
What is the accuracy quotient that you desire in the digital pressure gauge

In certain cases, you might need accurate pressure measurements till the last digit. On the contrary in other cases you might not need super-accurate figures. Once you have figured out the kind of accuracy you desire from the gauge, your selection process becomes that much easier. Different industries have different requirements. Typically, test gauges have 0.25% through 0.10% full scale accuracy, whereas for critical processes it is 0.5% full scale accuracy. For regular industrial processes the accuracy is 1.0%. Also, one might need an accuracy of 2% for less critical commercial uses. For more details, you could always discuss your requirements with your chosen distributor. Most such distributors also sell a full digital anemometer range.
What type of case style material do you need in your digital pressure gauges

The material and casing of the high temperature pressure gauge plays an important role in its overall functioning and durability. The ambient atmosphere in which you are going to be using the pressure gauge does have a direct effect on the longevity of the gauge. The basic rule is that the gauge needs to be highly compatible with the atmosphere it is going to function in. There are various factors that have a direct or indirect effect on the gauge. For instance, the temperature, humidity, dust, chemicals, water, moisture, air-borne particulate and condensation have an effect on gauge performance. It is advisable to invest in a waterproof, weatherproof or liquid filled gauge.
What is the dial size of the digital pressure gauge you most prefer

Digital gauges come in a wide range of dial sizes ranging from 1.5" to 16" diameters. Depending on your specific requirements, it is very critical to check the most suitable dial size for your needs. A dial size that is moderately large will help you read figures clearly even in low light conditions. However, if you are going to face a major space crunch on-site, it is better to opt for a small dial size. Typically, gauges that have an accuracy of .25% or .5% have a dial size that is 4.5" or more.
Equipped with these handy tips you can now choose the best ammonia pressure gauge to meet your requirements.
