  • Q2. What is pressure gauge operating range
  • Ans. 

    Pressure gauge operating range refers to the minimum and maximum pressure values that the gauge can accurately measure.

    • Pressure gauge operating range is typically specified by the manufacturer.

    • It is important to ensure that the pressure being measured falls within the gauge's operating range to ensure accurate readings.

    • For example, a pressure gauge with an operating range of 0-100 psi should not be used to measure pres
