Can i do a hydrostatic test with this gauge using H2O, reading the water pressure

only can go to 10 psi /20 inch of mercury I use it to measure Pascal's when testing engine crankcase pressure

Not really....you would need to flush out all of the air in the connections (not bypass ports) and the sensor may not be able to handle getting wet..... you could get general levels of magnitude if you keep a column of air in the tube .....

Not sure what you mean by a hydrostatic test... detecting drop in pressure ? I would say yes.

I wouldn't try to force high pressure water into the unit but I think the volume of air in the little hose will keep the water from going into the gage. It should still read however.

I don't really know but the gauge has reads up to 160psi. Don't know if that means it can.

Hi Edward, Yes, you can still use the gauge. You will need a two stage regulator that has a POL inlet connection. Your gauge would hook inline between your tank and then the regulator.

Make sure it's nice and tight and that you have the water pressure at the appropriate level. I've used it a few times now and it's worked to an acceptable level.

To test my unit I submerged the probe in water that I knew was over/under a given temperature. I didn't read that you could or could not anywhere, all I can say is that I did for a short period of time and that doing so hasn't damaged anything.

I use it to check the pressure drop across the water in and water out lines on my geothermal heat pump. Just what I needed. JDR

I use two of these gauges to measure the pressure drop across my whole house water filter. This is the water source from which my family and I drink and cook. Perfect for use in a home brew setup. The glycerin filled section of the gauge is separated from the source of the pressure (e.g. air/water/wort) the gauge measures. It won't get glycerin in your brew.

It works great on the original gravity reading. If you are making alcohol then you will need to convert the final gravity or use a hydrometer

Unfortunately I can't. I got the gage for a boat, have not installed it yet...

I would not use it to measure oil pressure if that is what you are doing or water pressure in a boiler. I purchased it to measure venter motor pressure on 90 plus gas fornaces and for that it works great.

I'd say that this is more along the lines of a 'generally specific' more so than a 'literally specific' measurement. I'm sure you can find the right reading given enough time. This uses displacement to gauge the proof of a liquid so you'll have to be sure to let the hydrometer be free from the edges of its container and the water must be completely still. So yes, it will differentiate but you'll have to have a really good eye for it!

yes you can test any liquid that i know of, but best to keep it in neutral water and have it calibrated often

The vacuum pump I use has a pressure gauge on it or you can run it through your gauges.

I've heard of people calibrating it with boiling water, so it may work for what you want. I'd be careful to not get the plug end of the thermocouple or the thermometer wet though.

I do not know since I returned the meter after it had moisture in the display. The meter was advertised as waterproof.

No you cannot use this guage alone to measure the pressure without the Lezyne pump. Air passes throught the hose, so without the pump there is no pressure blocked. If you were to cap one side of the hose then you could get a reading. However, that solution would not be a practical as compared to other pressure guages designed to measure more accuratly.

Yes, you just don't use the pressure gauge with it. Just use it like a big pot.
