	A '''pressure gauge''' is an instrument for measuring the pressure of gases and liquids. It usually consists of a closed coiled tube connected to the chamber or pipe in which pressure is to be sensed. As the pressure increases the tube will tend to uncoil. This motion is transferred through a link to a gear train connected to an indicating needle, which indicated the pressure on a circular scale at the front of the gauge. The input of a typical pressure gauge is either a hose barb or male pipe thread. In the case of male pipe threads, you will need [[tapping\|to tap]] a hole.
