Reasons for Choosing a Liquid-Filled Industrial Pressure Gauge

04/21/2021 | Hardy Orzikowski | Know-how, Pressure
Oil and gas industry

Liquid-filled gauges surpass dry gauges for two main reasons: performance and extended service life. Pressure gauges that are filled with a liquid, usually glycerin or silicone oil, perform better in less-than-ideal conditions. They are also more economical in the long …
