Are Your Pressure Gauges Safe?

Pressure gauges are essential for monitoring pressure in a variety of applications. However, they can fail for a variety of reasons. For example, did you know vibration can cause the pointer on a pressure gauge to become erratic or inaccurate? Or that pulsating pressure can cause the same problems as vibration, and even damage the internal workings of the gauge? WIKA has put together an excellent article detailing 8 Common Resonas for Pressure Gauge Failure. 

If you suspect that your pressure gauge is failing, it is important to have it repaired or replaced by a qualified technician. The team at Cross Process Solutions can help you source, calibrate, and even repair your pressure gauges to ensure proper operation.
