water pressure guage

[powerjoke]

general dumbing down of the Western world.

haha, you guys are the ones that spells tire with a "Y"

But seriously, if Cmarks post dont clear it up.....I dont know what to tell the OP

I know, but you don't have to get all jealous about it! Just try spelling it with a "Y" yourselves. It's easy once you get the hang of it

Hey Digger, I was just confirming for you 'cause you sounded unsure ... I proudly display my ignorance in hopes that people will do away with it- sorta like putting an old couch out on the side of the road in hopes someone will haul it off.

Cmark, I considered the relationship of pressure to boiling point but in a sealed system as the temp. goes up so does the pressure until the relief pressure is reached. Modern coolants do of course raise the vapor pressure of the fluid and thus the boiling point at a given pressure. I think the water pressure gauge as a practical thing is irrelevant. However, I think the part about the colorcoded gauges is neat. I had never realized that before; and you gave me a new source for Cat gauges, maybe cheaper, thanks.

On the gauge/gage thing I wasn't criticizing anybody's misspelling, but many peoples sloppy shortcut spelling: gauge/gage,through/thru,etc. I know enough people use them for the dictionaries to list them as correct but I still think it's a shame for our language.

Cmark youve hit the nail on the head as far as how to read the water temp and pressure gauges togeter took me forever to teach my old boss how to read them on the D8H/K series tractors.

I'd totaly agree that a water pressure gauge is irellevant today but they must have been necessary back in the day or they wouldn't have wasted money fitting them.

I'm guessing people didn't realise the importance of keeping a good seal on the cap for the new pressurised systems and might have considered pressure in the radiator as a bad thing. Maybe Cat fitted the gauge to emphasize that presure was now a good thing and actually necessary to avoid boiling.

There's an internet rule of thumb that says anything you post which criticizes somebody else's spelling or grammar will invariably contain an error of its own.

Yeah... you got it digger...

This might not be proper to post, so delete it if need be. I'll just use links to individual posts....

Yup... and they're still going at it...

Hope I didn't make a mistake... lol

The pressure gauge can be a engine saver. Temp gauges are either operated by a ether alcohol bulb or a thermresistor if the coolant leaks out and they are uncovered they will read a normal or lower temp






gee it would great if we had a spell checker

[muzy]

Yes I agree. Good thinking. muzy
