2. Sight glass - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sight_glass

   Water gauge on a steam locomotive. Here the water is at the “top nut”, the maximum working level. Note the patterned backplate to help reading and toughened glass shroud. A sight glass or water gauge is a type of level sensor, a transparent tube through which the operator of a tank or boiler can observe the level of liquid contained within.

3. Oil pump (internal combustion engine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_pump_(internal...

   The oil pressure at the pump outlet, which is what opens the pressure relief valve, is simply the resistance to flow caused by the bearing clearances and restrictions. The oil pressure gauge or warning lamp reflects the pressure at the specific point where its sensor is located within the pressurized system.

4. Stornoway power station - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stornoway_power_station

   The historic fuel oil supply consisted of a 1 km underground fuel oil transfer pipeline from the fuelling berth at Stornoway Harbour, with a Pipeline Inspection Gauge (pig) launching / receiving facility and two 2,000 tonne bulk fuel storage tanks at the power station. The harbour facilities and associated pipeline are no longer in use.

5. Oil pressure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_pressure

   Murphy oil pressure gauges with switches that activate on low pressure. Oil pressure is an important factor in the longevity of most internal combustion engines. [1] With a forced lubrication system (invented by Frederick Lanchester), oil is picked up by a positive displacement oil pump and forced through oil galleries (passageways) into bearings, such as the main bearings, big end bearings ...

6. Pressure switch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_switch

   Murphy oil pressure gauges with switches that activate on low pressure. A pressure switch is a form of switch that operates an electrical contact when a certain set fluid pressure has been reached on its input. The switch may be designed to make contact either on pressure rise or on pressure fall.

7. Level sensor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_sensor

   A variation of magnetic sensing is the "Hall effect" sensor which utilizes the magnetic sensing of a mechanical gauge's indications. In a typical application, a magnetism-sensitive "Hall effect sensor" is affixed to a mechanical tank gauge that has a magnetized indicator needle, so as to detect the indicating position of the gauge's needle.
