Is it possible to use an air gauge to measure steam as long as a siphon tube is used?
If not, where do folks get their steam gauges?

The siphon acts as a condenser to change steam into water so that WATER rather than steam is presented to the Bourdon tube. If you are going to use a gauge made for something other than steam use a gauge made for water.Noitoen said:The siphon is to prevent hot steam from reaching the gauge. As long as you keep those "cheap" plastic gauges away from the heat you can connect it to steam.
