What Is A Mechanical Oil Pressure Gauge?

by

What Is A Mechanical Oil Pressure Gauge? Instead of measuring resistance with electrical currents, mechanical gauges funnel oil into small pipes at the same pressure it flows in the engine. If anything punctures the oil pipe, it could start spewing oil at engine pressure! Which is better electric or mechanical oil pressure gauge? A properly

How Do Strain Gauges Work? A Strain gauge is a sensor whose resistance varies with applied force; It converts force, pressure, tension, weight, etc., into a change in electrical resistance which can then be measured. When external forces are applied to a stationary object, stress and strain are the result. How do strain gauge load
