Care and Verification of Pressure Gauges
The proper functioning and accuracy of pressure gauges are crucial for ensuring the safety and effectiveness of the equipment they monitor. To ensure their correct operation, the following key steps should be followed:
1. Verification of Correct Measurement
To confirm that the pressure gauge is measuring correctly, the following test should be performed:
- Turn off the equipment and check that the needle of the pressure gauge is positioned at 0. If the needle does not return to 0, the gauge is not calibrated correctly and needs to be adjusted or replaced.
2.Front Face Inspection
It is important to regularly inspect the front face of the pressure gauge to ensure it is in good condition:
- Transparency: The gauge cover should be completely clear, with no signs of opacity or discoloration.
- Condition of the Internal Liquid: If the gauge contains liquid, it should be full and free of bubbles, as bubbles may indicate a leak or malfunction.
- No Dents or Alterations: The face of the gauge should be free of cracks, scratches, or distortions that could affect its reading or integrity.
3. Transport Precautions
To protect gauges during transportation, the following precautions should be taken:
- Proper packaging: Gauges should always be transported in their original boxes, with internal protection to prevent movement that could damage them.
- Impact protection: No other objects should be placed on top of the gauge box, and the gauge should be secured to prevent impacts or scratches during transport.
