Choosing the right industrial pressure gauge doesn’t have to be complicated. In this video, we walk you through a simple and proven framework called STAMPED to help you select the best pressure gauge for your application—every time.

We start by breaking down mechanical vs. digital pressure gauges, explaining when each option makes sense and why mechanical gauges remain the most cost-effective choice for many industrial environments.

Then we dive into the STAMPED checklist:

• S – Size: How to choose the right gauge face diameter based on readability, space, and connection compatibility
• T – Temperature: Selecting the right materials for ambient and media temperatures, including steam and high-temperature applications
• A – Application: Industry-specific considerations, vibration, pulsation, and when to use liquid-filled gauges or snubbers
• M – Media: Matching gauge materials to air, water, corrosive chemicals, and clog-prone media
• P – Pressure: How to properly size your pressure range for accuracy and long-term performance
• E – Ends: Choosing the correct process connection type, size, and mounting orientation
• D – Delivery: Understanding lead times for standard vs. fully customized pressure gauges

Whether you’re working in chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, or heavy industrial applications, this guide helps ensure accurate readings, longer gauge life, and reliable performance.
