gauges and meters

Gauges and meters are tools used to measure and display specific information about a system or device. Gauges typically provide real-time, physical readings—like pressure or temperature—often through mechanical or analog displays. Meters are electronic devices that measure quantities such as voltage, current, or flow, presenting results digitally or visually. Both help monitor performance, ensure safety, and facilitate maintenance by giving clear, precise data about the condition or operation of equipment. Think of them as the system’s way of “telling us how it’s doing” so appropriate actions can be taken if needed.
