TRACEABILITY:

The Gauges is a serialized product with all components traceable to their origins. Historical records are maintained on each Gauge including repairs, modifications, and each release of the detailed Test Report which accompanies each Gauge. This allows us detailed understanding of actual performance well beyond the theoretical model and is reflected in the Typical specifications shown.
Pressure Fitting Slip-On Probe Allows reading of pressure in a closed system up to 5,000 psi
Lock-On Probe Allows reading of pressure in a closed system up to 10,000 psi

Gauge Plugs

The Taylor Gauge Plug and Probe system has been a standard in the oil field since 1959. In fact, Taylor Valve Gauge Plugs are used throughout the world for a variety of applications.

Gauge Probes

The small area of the stainless needle means that only a 6 lb push per 1,000 psi in the system is required to force the probe into the Gauge Plug and open the valve.

Lock-On-Probes are recommended where the pressure or sample device is to be mounted onto the Gauge Plug or where the pressure on the Gauge Plug exceeds 5,000 psi.
