∙ 11y ago
Pressure Indicator is any instrument that indicates pressure. Pressure Gauge is also a type of pressure Indicator. It is a mechanical device. Pressure indicators can work on mechanical deflection (in case of pressure gauge) or Piezo electric effect, change in capacitance, change in inductance etc. These are generally digital type instruments.

What is the difference between normal pressure gauge and differential pressure gauge?
A pressure gauge indicates actual pressure and a differential pressure gauge indicates the difference in pressure.
What are you measuring when you measure air preasure?
The difference in pressure between absolute and gauge pressure.
How do you protect a pressure gauge from pressure surges?
a sertain way
What does a compound pressure gauge measure in?
The Compound Gauge measures above and below atmospheric pressure (in psig and inches of mercury).
100 mm WG equals?
mmWG is a pressure unit. its something like mm Hg, however in mmWG, W refers to water and G refers to gauge pressure. Hence, mm WG refers to the gauge pressure in terms of milimeters of water.
What is the difference between normal pressure gauge and differential pressure gauge?
A pressure gauge indicates actual pressure and a differential pressure gauge indicates the difference in pressure.
Difference between pressure gauge and vacuum gauge?
A pressure gauge measures blow, a vacuum gauges measures suck
What are you measuring when you measure air preasure?
The difference in pressure between absolute and gauge pressure.
Is gauge pressure is the sum of true pressure and atmospheric pressure?
No, it is the DIFFERENCE between the true and atmospheric pressures.
Difference between pressure gauge and manometer?
A manometer is a pressure gauge, "Manometer" reads extremely low pressures that are very close to atmospheric pressures, "pressure gauges" read much larger pressures.
What are the difference between room pressure and absolete pressure?
standard atmospheric pressure at sea level is 14.73 psi Absolute pressure is a gauge plus atmospheric pressure. The gauge being something that you are detecting.. i.e hot water tank.
Can you see the difference between a wet and a dry standpipe system?
Yes you can. A dry standpipe system has an air pressure and a water gauge the air pressure gauge is normally found on the top or the (pressure side) the water gauge is normally located on the bottom under the air pressure gauge or the (supply side)
What is micro manometer pressure?
A manometer is a pressure gauge. A micro manometer is either a really small pressure gauge, or a pressure gauge used to measure really small pressure difference.
What is micro manometer?
A manometer is a pressure gauge. A micro manometer is either a really small pressure gauge, or a pressure gauge used to measure really small pressure difference.
What is the definition of psia and psig in pressure unit?
Both units are based on the imperial Pounds per Square Inch (PSI). The suffix A refers to Absolute pressure, while G refers to Gauge pressure. Gauge pressure is defined as the difference between the measured pressure and atmospheric pressure. Most pressure measuring devices (gauges) measure the gauge pressure, as one side of the gauge is exposed to atmospheric pressure.
What gauge measures both vacuum and pressure?
Gauge pressure usually refers to the pressure difference between ambient, atmospheric pressure and the pressure in a vessel or line. A gauge pressure of zero would mean that the vessel or line was at atmospheric pressure. Normally the pressures of interest are ABOVE atmospheric so the gauge pressure is positive. Vacuum gauge pressure measures how far BELOW atmospheric pressure a vessel or line is. As such vacuum gauge pressure may be measured as a negative number - or for convenience it may be reported as a positive number with the caveat that it is "vacuum gauge pressure", meaning that the reported pressure is how far atmospheric pressure is above the pressure in the vessel or line.
What is a oil sending switch?
This is a pressure sensitive switch that controls the oil pressure indicator (light or gauge) on the dash board in the vehicle
