En réfrigération, on utilise des manomètres dont le cadran est gradué de 0 à 25 bars pour la mesure des pressions de refoulement et des manomètres dits «basse pression», dont le cadran est gradué 76 cm-Hg-0-6 bars pour la mesure des pressions d'aspiration. La lecture des dépressions se faisant sur l'échelle 0-76 (c'est-à-dire de zéro au vide absolu) et la lecture des pressions relatives de 0 à 6 bars. Mais, en réfrigération commerciale et ménagère, on utilise également des manomètres ayant des cadrans gradués en livres par pouces carrés pour la mesure des pressions de refoulement; en pouces et livres par pouces carrés pour la mesure des vides et des pressions d'aspiration. 2, record 3, French, - manom%C3%A8tre%20de%20refoulement

Air gauges are of two types : the flow or column type which indicates air velocity, and the pressure type which indicates air pressure in the system.... [In the] column type air gauge... the air flows through a transparent tapered tube in which a float is suspended as a result of this air flow.... The air flowing through the gauge exhausts through the passages in the gauging head into the clearance between the head and the workpiece. The rate of flow is proportional to the clearance indicated by the position of the float in the column. The gauge is set to a master and the float is then positioned by means of an adjusting knob. 1, record 4, English, - column%20type%20air%20gauge

[Dans un système débitmétrique,] l'indication de dimension est obtenue par la position en hauteur d'un flotteur se déplaçant devant une graduation, à l'intérieur d'un tube de verre conique. La hauteur du flotteur varie proportionnellement à la quantité d'air s'écoulant par unité de temps. 1, record 4, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20d%C3%A9bitm%C3%A9trique

In the pressure type air gauge, air passes through a filter and regulator and is then divided into two channels. The air in the reference channel escapes to atmosphere through a zero setting valve. The air in the measuring channel escapes to atmosphere through the gauge head jets. The two channels are connected by an extremely accurate differential pressure meter. The master is placed over the gauging spindle and the zero setting valve is adjusted until the gauge needle indicates zero. Any deviation in the workpiece size from the master size changes the reading. 2, record 5, English, - pressure%20type%20air%20gauge
