If you want to shop online, Amazon.com is a good place to find a wide variety. For a local store, a home improvement store like Home Depot or Lowe's will have a variety of pressure gauges.

How do you check tire pressure?
Take off the valve cap on the tire and shove on a pressure gauge. Gauges can be bought cheaply at motor accessory shops.
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.
Definition of a compound gauge?
A compound gauge is a pressure gauge that displays both negative and positive gauge pressure measurements. Gauge pressure is a measurement of pressure relative to ambient pressure. For example, if ambient pressure was 14.7 PSI and you were to measure absolute vaccum using a compound gauge, the gauge would indicate -14.7 PSI.
How do you calculate gauge pressure in a system?
To calculate gauge pressure in a system, subtract the atmospheric pressure from the absolute pressure within the system. Gauge pressure Absolute pressure - Atmospheric pressure.
How to convert gauge pressure to absolute pressure?
To convert gauge pressure to absolute pressure, add the atmospheric pressure to the gauge pressure reading. This will give you the total pressure, including the pressure exerted by the atmosphere.
What is the difference between gauge pressure and absolute pressure, and how can one accurately gauge pressure in a system using these two measurements?
Gauge pressure is the pressure measured relative to atmospheric pressure, while absolute pressure includes atmospheric pressure as a reference point. To accurately gauge pressure in a system, one can use a gauge that measures gauge pressure and then add the atmospheric pressure to get the absolute pressure. This allows for a more precise measurement of the pressure within the system.
Does gauge pressure include atmospheric pressure?
Yes, gauge pressure includes atmospheric pressure. Gauge pressure is the pressure measured above atmospheric pressure, so it accounts for the atmospheric pressure as a reference point.
How to find gauge pressure in a closed container?
To find gauge pressure in a closed container, subtract the atmospheric pressure from the total pressure inside the container. Gauge pressure is the pressure above atmospheric pressure.
Can bourdon's tube pressure gauge be used to measure negative pressure?
Bourdon's tube pressure gauge cannot be used to measure negative pressure. This is because absolute pressure must be measured and the Bourdon gauge only indicates the gauge 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.
Is gauge pressure larger, smaller, or the same as absolute pressure?
Gauge pressure is smaller than absolute pressure.
How do you recharge the AC in 1999 Eddie Bower Ford Expedition?
Freon is added through the low side pressure port. A gauge will be needed to check that the system is not overfilled. The Freon and gauge can be bought together as a kit.
