MECHANICAL GAUGES FOR
TEMPERATURE
To check these gauges, put the bulb of the gauge in a
pan of oil. Do not let the bulb touch the pan. Put a
thermometer in the oil to measure the temperature.
Make a comparison of temperatures on the thermometer
with the temperatures on the direct reading gauge.
DIRECT READING GAUGE
MECHANICAL GAUGES FOR
OIL PRESSURE
To check these gauges connect the gauge to a pressure
source that can be measured with accuracy. Make a
comparison of pressure on the gauge of test equipment
with the pressures on the direct reading gauge.
