GAUGE RECORDING MAXIMUM PRESSURE

Device for visual indication of a maximum fluid pressure condition reached during a given interval of time. Useful for the in-flight recording of fluid pressure condition e.g., in the reduction gear box of a jet engine where excessive pressures are indicative of incipient failures, the device comprises a body having a cavity in fluid pressure communication with system fluid, an indicator movable relative to the body cavity in response to changes in system fluid pressure, and locking means limiting indicator travel to a single direction indicative of a relatively higher pressure condition in the system.
