Where to buy pressure and temperature tank gauges?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around finding suitable tank gauges that measure both pressure and temperature for compressed air applications. Participants share various sources and suggestions for purchasing these gauges, including preferences for digital options and specific measurement ranges.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about where to buy tank gauges that measure both pressure (1-50 psi) and temperature (0-~500 degrees F) for compressed air.
  • Another participant suggests checking McMaster for potential options.
  • A different source, Omega, is mentioned as having a wide range of products, though potentially at a higher cost.
  • Neilsen Kellerman is recommended for custom equipment, along with Davies instruments as another option.
  • The original poster expresses difficulty in finding a temperature gauge specifically for compressed air, indicating that pressure gauges are more readily available.
  • The original poster also seeks advice on whether there are compressed air tanks available that come with an attached temperature gauge.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants provide various suggestions and sources, but there is no consensus on a single best option or solution. The discussion remains open-ended with multiple avenues explored.

Contextual Notes

Participants have not specified certain assumptions regarding gauge compatibility or the specific requirements for the gauges, which may affect the recommendations.

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone knew where I could buy tank gauges that read both the pressure and temperature inside the tank. They can be digital, in fact if it is cheap enough it would be preferred. Does anybody have any ideas? Northern Tool at least the one here didn't, Lowe's didn't, and Home Depot didn't. Scuba shops have some but not at the ranges I need (1-50psi and 0- ~500 degrees F).

Sorry, forgot to mention I need it for compressed air. Not a liquid :)
 
http://www.omega.com/" can be expensive but they have most everything.

check with Neilsen Kellerman, they have all sorts of equipment and may be able to custom make. I get my Kestrel there. http://www.nkhome.com Also, Davies instruments.
 
Thank you for the help, I am communicating with the first 2 companies via email. Another thing that might help is if anyone knows if there is a compressed air tank with a temperature gauge, attached that will work too :) Pressure gauges for compressed air are very easy to find, I am just having trouble finding a temperature gauge for the medium :(
