About Multi Purpose Gauge
Caltech India Multi Purpose Gauge or Master Paint Plate a very useful gauge for cross cut adhesion testing as per ASTM D6677, ASTM D3359 Method A and ASTM D3359 method B standard. This gauge is also useful for determination of wet film thickness and also used to determine sagging properties. ASTM D3359 Test Method A is primarily intended for use at job sites while Test Method B is more suitable for use in the laboratory. Also, Test Method B is not considered suitable for films thicker than 5 mils (125m).
Robust Design for Versatile ApplicationsBuilt with a stainless steel case and brass internals, this Multi Purpose Gauge ensures excellent durability and corrosion resistance. Its splash-resistant construction, combined with a nitrile rubber gasket seal, makes it dependable for both indoor and outdoor environments. The device is ideal for use in measuring air, water, oil, and other non-corrosive fluids in various industrial and commercial processes.
High Accuracy and Easy ReadabilityWith an accuracy of +/- 1% full scale and a measurement resolution of 1 psi, this gauge delivers precise monitoring every time. The bold white dial with clear black markings, complemented by a striking black indicating pointer, enables users to quickly assess pressure levels, reducing the risk of misinterpretation during critical operations.
Simple Installation and No Power RequiredFeaturing a convenient bottom connection with a standard 1/4 BSP thread, this gauge can be easily integrated into existing systems. It operates mechanically using a Bourdon tube sensor design, requiring no electrical power, which means dependable performance anywhere without reliance on batteries or wiring.
FAQs of Multi Purpose Gauge:
Q: How should the Multi Purpose Gauge be installed for optimal performance?
A: For best results, mount the gauge using its bottom 1/4 BSP threaded connection on a compatible fitting. Ensure that the installation is upright so the dial remains visible, and avoid exposure to highly corrosive environments or media beyond its specified application range.
Q: What media can this pressure gauge be safely used with?
A: This Multi Purpose Gauge is suitable for measuring air, water, oil, and other non-corrosive fluids. It is not intended for use with aggressive or highly corrosive substances that could damage the internal components.
Q: When is recalibration or maintenance required for the gauge?
A: Routine calibration is recommended annually, or as specified by your quality assurance protocols. Maintenance may be necessary if the gauge is subjected to vibration, overpressure events, or shows signs of inaccurate readings.
Q: Where can this gauge be deployed effectively?
A: It can be installed in industrial systems, workshops, laboratories, and process control applications where analog pressure monitoring of non-corrosive media is required. Its splash-resistant design also supports moderate outdoor installations.
Q: What is the operating temperature and humidity range of the gauge?
A: The gauge is designed to operate efficiently within a temperature range of -10C to +60C and up to 90% relative humidity in non-condensing conditions.
Q: How does the gauge ensure accurate readings without a power supply?
A: The device uses a Bourdon tube sensor, which mechanically moves the pointer in response to pressure changes. This analog system delivers accurate readings (1% F.S.) without requiring any external power source.
Q: What are the benefits of using this Multi Purpose Gauge for pressure monitoring?
A: The gauge offers durability, precision, and ease of installation. Its clear, bold dial enhances readability and reduces user error, while the mechanical design ensures reliability and cost-effectiveness in pressure monitoring applications.
