What are gauges?
In essence, gauges are a type of measuring device. We use them to measure things and display numerical information –– such as the pressure in our tires or even to measure temperatures. It is precisely because we rely on gauges to make important determinations that gauges are so important. Consider, for example, that the gauge in the instrument you’re using to measure the pressure in your tire malfunctions. A wrong reading could cause you to overflow your tires, or, conversely, to have them operating below capacity.
Types of gauges
As is the case with seemingly every item in the industry, there is a ton of different gauges, each one different from the rest and serving a distinct purpose. Some of the most popular gauges include stainless gauges, brass gauges and water gauges.
As you can imagine, gauges range in size and composition. Some gauges are more vulnerable than others to the cold –– which is what we are going to discuss in this blog post. Keep on reading to learn more.
Gauges and the cold
Pressure gauges are particularly susceptible to freezing under cold temperatures. This is because, when exposed to certain temperatures, the liquid inside the pressure gauge can freeze.
In addition, once the gauge thaws and the ice melts, the newfound water can incur damage on your equipment. As such, you want to make sure you’re only relying on quality gauges that can withstand cold temperatures. Some gauges, for example, have lower freezing temperatures than others. Let us tell you how ASJ Industrial Hose and Fittings can help.
