steam gauge

A steam gauge is a device used to measure the pressure of steam within a system, such as in a boiler. It typically displays pressure in units like pounds per square inch (psi) or bar. The gauge contains a sensing element that reacts to the pressure, causing a needle or digital display to indicate the current pressure level. This measurement is crucial for ensuring safe operation, efficiency, and preventing overpressure conditions that could lead to equipment failure or hazards. Overall, a steam gauge provides real-time, easy-to-read information about steam system pressure for operators and maintenance personnel.
