Gauge Types
Understand the sensing method, range, and application behind common digital gauges.
Choose by the quantity being measured
Pressure gauges sense fluid pressure. Force and torque gauges measure load, while thickness gauges and indicators measure dimensions or displacement.
Pressure
Pressure gauges convert a pressure-induced sensor response into a numerical reading.
Force
Force gauges measure tension or compression through a load cell.
Torque
Torque gauges measure turning moment, often with a reaction fixture.
Thickness
Thickness gauges use contact, ultrasonic, or other sensing methods.
Indicators
Digital indicators display small linear displacement with high resolution.
