hi every body,

I have a machine with compressed air. the problem is the pressure gauges is not working.
and when I take the gauges into other compressed air line the pressure gauge work properly.
why this happening ? I need your help
 
Physics news on Phys.org
There is a blower pump ( pump pressure= 250mbar) . the air of blower pass throw manifold into three ports. the gauges attached after manifold in each port to measure the pressure of each port. (No Air Tank)
The range of pressure for each port is from (10mbar to 130mbar) , the pressure gauge range is (0mbar - 180mbar)
The machine is cigarette filter maker

anther Question.
I found in pump specification [pressure= +(250/230)mbar] . what does it mean? Max &min??

The gauge might be working OK. Do you really have pressure?
Or do you have pressure and a block in the air line to the gauge?
Is there an isolation valve on the line to the gauge that has been closed?
When you remove the gauge, does it release air?
