Gauges are the mechanical tools used for measurement of pressure, temperature and vacuum. The gauges are an integral part in the industries through which the pressure or temperature are measured and controlled. The industrial gauges are available for pressure as well as temperature and the correct selection depends on the various parameters. For instance, the ambient conditions, pressure & temperature range, conditions affecting the system and mounting method are some of the important criteria for industrial gauge selection. In chemical industries, the industrial gauges are critical for controlled operation since the precise temperature and pressure conditions are to be met. These operating pressure-temperature scales are controlled via software systems in the control rooms in the manufacturing industries. For instance, in boiler application, a pressure gauge also called as the steam gauge is used for steam pressure indication mounted on the steam drum. In food industries, temperature control is a primary concern for food processes in order to assure that quality is maintained from production up to storage. The global industrial gauges market is expected to be mostly driven by the factors such as growth in the end use industries, strict regulation and norms for industrial production and increasing industrialisation in countries such as South Africa, India, China, Taiwan, South Korea, Indonesia etc.
