Dial Indicating Altitude And Temperature Gage

Dial Indicating Altitude and Temperature Gauge is a type of instrument that combines altitude and temperature measurement capabilities. It is commonly used in aviation and aerospace applications to provide accurate readings of both altitude and temperature.

The altitude measurement feature of the gauge allows pilots and operators to determine the current altitude of an aircraft or any other object. This is crucial for navigation and maintaining safe flight levels. The gauge typically displays altitude in feet or meters, and it may include additional features such as altitude hold or rate of climb/descent indicators.

The temperature measurement feature of the gauge allows users to monitor the ambient temperature in the surrounding environment. This is important for various applications, including weather monitoring, HVAC systems, and scientific research. The gauge typically displays temperature in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit, and it may include additional features such as temperature trend indicators or alarms.

Dial Indicating Altitude and Temperature Gauges are designed with a dial or display that provides clear and easy-to-read readings. They are often equipped with a needle or pointer that moves in response to changes in altitude or temperature, allowing users to quickly and accurately interpret the measurements.

These gauges are classified under the Combination and Miscellaneous Instruments category in the Instruments and Laboratory Equipment supply group. This category includes a wide range of instruments that combine multiple measurement capabilities or serve miscellaneous purposes. Dial Indicating Altitude and Temperature Gauges are commonly used in aviation, aerospace, and other industries where accurate altitude and temperature measurements are required.
