How to Solve Common Issues with Pressure Gauges

Troubles & Solutions

3 damaged pressure gauges installed on the system

As an important component of a measurement system, pressure gauges may encounter any issues during use. The first step in solving these issues is to identify the cause and then take appropriate measures based on the specific situation. If necessary, consult professional technicians. Pressure gauge regular maintenance, installation, and calibration can also prevent many common issues from occurring.

Correctly addressing pressure gauge issues and solutions not only ensures the normal operation of the equipment, but also affects the quality, safety, cost, and environmental impact of the entire production process.

FAQs & Solutions

Phenomenon	Cause	Solution
Inaccurate readings	Pressure gauge not calibrated	Regularly calibrate the pressure gauge
	Mechanical wear due to long-term use	Check for mechanical damage and replace if necessary
	Incorrect installation position or method	Ensure correct installation to avoid stress impact
	Affected by vibration or temperature	Install shock absorbers or thermal insulation devices
Pointer fluctuation	Presence of bubbles or pulsating flow in the fluid	Install dampers or pulse dampers
Pointer fluctuation	Pressure gauge approaching its upper limit	Use a pressure gauge with an appropriate range to avoid frequent reaching of the upper limit
Pointer deviates from zero	Long-term overload use	Calibrate the pressure gauge to reset the zero point
Pointer deviates from zero	Fatigue or damage to the spring tube	Replace the pressure gauge
Internal parts damage	Excessive pressure or impact	Install overpressure protection devices
Internal parts damage	Corrosive media	Use pressure gauge materials suitable for specific media
Fogging on the mirror surface	Condensation caused by temperature difference	Use pressure gauges with anti-fogging or condensation-resistant functions
Fogging on the mirror surface	Liquid leakage inside the liquid filled pressure gauges	Refill or replace the pressure gauge
Glass breakage	External impact	Avoid installing in places that may be subject to impact
Glass breakage	Excessive internal pressure	Ensure the pressure gauges suits the application
