What tool is used to measure oil pressure in an oil burner system?

The oil pressure gauge is specifically designed to measure the pressure of oil within an oil burner system. This tool is crucial for ensuring that the burner operates efficiently and safely by providing real-time readings of the oil pressure. An appropriate pressure level is essential for optimal combustion and overall burner performance; too high or too low pressure can lead to operational issues or even safety hazards.

While other tools may have their own specific functions—like a temperature gauge which measures the temperature of the oil or the combustion gases, a manometer typically measures gas pressure and can be used in other contexts, and a flow meter tracks the flow rate of liquid—they do not provide the direct measurement of oil pressure that is critical for an oil burner system. This makes the oil pressure gauge an indispensable instrument for oil burner operators.
