(research??) you seem to know more about instrumentation than the avarage person... sure... i'm.. umm.... well.... i have a Doctorate of Metallurgy. i specialise in high temperature corrosion reactions and electron microscopy/analysis.. for the past couple of years i have been working on bondcoats for thermal barrier coatings for jet turbine blades... currently am working on electroplating of diffusion barrier coatings and platinum/nickel/iridium/hafnium onto superalloys (TMS132/CMSX4 etc) typically i build, install, modify, and then use high precision equipment (like TGA.. measures sample weight inside a furnace to 0.1 microgram accuracy) oh, and i have moved to Japan for two years with a JSPS fellowship from the japanese government cars are my hobby/passion and when i decide to find out something abotu them, i try to learn as much as possible.. re: gauges, i checked into different brands, looked up independent (if there is such a thing) tests of gauge accuracy etc.... as for instrumentation, i usually have access to some of the best equipment in the world for various things... but for this i just needed a datalogging temp sensor and a temp controlled bath not too hard really.. you can do the same with a multimeter and K-type thermocouple from jaycar, and a thick bottomed saucepan.. you could also use a "precision temp sensor"part number.. LM35DZ ? the one that goes to 150C with accuracy of 0.1C. these give 10mV/C output so you can read it with any multimeter.... many options, all with much greater accuracy than your average gauge ... Cya, Stewart fair enough. nice answer, thanks i only asked because i am in my 2nd year of an electrical/instrumentation apprenticeship, and a lot of the time you talk of things that people who arnt in the trade wouldnt have heard of. btw, i work at the Shell Refinery at Clyde Power and Process Control engineer, Apprenticeship Power = Sparky Process Control = Instrumentation [Report message to a moderator]
