Which of the following illustrated gauges is incapable of measuring vacuum depths at micron levels for verification of system dehydration while performing a system evacuation with a vacuum pump? See illustration GS-RA-37.
• Difference between micron vacuum gauges and standard manifold pressure gauges • Typical units used to measure deep vacuum during system dehydration (microns vs inHg/psi/kPa) • Which instruments in the illustration appear to be specialized vacuum gauges vs general pressure gauges
• Look closely at the scale and units that each gauge style is designed to read. Which one is normally used only for high and low side system pressures, not fine vacuum? • For deep‑vacuum dehydration, technicians need to verify evacuation down to several hundred microns. Which illustrated devices look like they can display microns directly or via a very fine vacuum scale? • Think about common HVAC/R and marine refrigeration tools: which pictured device is mainly a service manifold for charging/diagnostics rather than a precision vacuum-measuring instrument?
• Identify which device(s) would typically show microns or have a very fine vacuum range, even if you can’t read the labels clearly. • Determine which device is primarily intended to measure system pressure (high/low side) and only rough vacuum, not deep vacuum in microns. • Before choosing, ask: “Could a technician reliably confirm a vacuum of about 500 microns or less with this instrument?” If not, that points you toward the correct option.
