Custom Pressure Gauges: Sometimes They Make Sense And Cents!

Custom Pressure Gauges: Sometimes They Make Sense And Cents!

By:


Everyone likes to buy product off the shelf. It makes good sense. It is cheaper and more widely available.
When designing equipment it makes good sense to use commonly available component for both lower cost and more readily available spare parts.

Despite our best intentions, sometimes things are overlooked and errors made in the design process.
This often leads to one area of the equipment that has a conglomeration of parts to adapt the two originally desired parts together.

When the happens (and it does happen) and one of the components is a pressure gauge, it is worth your time to investigate a custom connection gauge that incorporates all desired changes right into the fitting of the gauge.

How many times have you seen a piece of equipment with one or more gauges on it where the gauges have at least one fitting between it and the line it is designed to measure. Maybe a manifold was designed with NPT ports and the gauge has 1/4 NPT ports. You could use a fitting or two to get the two pieces together. This is a relatively inexpensive and fast solution. It also makes the end product look less professional that it otherwise would. On top of that, it introduces new leak points.
There are gauge suppliers who specialize in this sort of custom gauge. There is little extra cost to this with even small volume (100 pieces depending on the application). This extra cost is a small price to pay for elimination a leak path and improving the aesthetics of your equipment.

You see when the gauge is made, it does not matter much what the connecting thread is, or how long the neck is. After all this fitting is welded to the bourdon tube in the manufacturing process, so variation in length or thread size does not affect the working of the gauge.

Mistakes happen. When a custom pressure gauge will solve the problem, it is worth your time to look for a supplier to get you back where you belong.
