1. Calibrating water temp gauges (score: 1): Author: BlueGolfer@aol.com; Date: Thu, 18 Feb 1999 13:32:15 EST; I suspect my original Smiths water temperature gauge is not accurate. It slowly works it way up to 250+ and pegs out. The water temp. (75% antifreeze) does not appear to be boiling. The needle motion; /html/tigers/1999-02/msg00450.html (7,530 bytes)
2. RE: Calibrating water temp gauges (score: 1): Author: Theo Smit <TSmit@novatel.ca>; Date: Thu, 18 Feb 1999 11:48:22 -0700; Sounds like your instrument voltage regulator is toast. If it starts putting out full voltage (about 14 or so) instead of 10 volts, your temp (and gas) indication will simultaneously rise by about 40; /html/tigers/1999-02/msg00452.html (8,975 bytes)
3. RE: Calibrating water temp gauges (score: 1): Author: "Allan Connell, Jr." <alcon@earthlink.net>; Date: Thu, 18 Feb 1999 14:01:55 -0800; I may be all wet....and if I am, I am positive the list will correct me, so here goes..... If I recall correctly, the Smiths temp gauge has an adjusting screw on the back. However, prior to adjustin; /html/tigers/1999-02/msg00453.html (8,541 bytes)
4. Re: Calibrating water temp gauges (score: 1): Author: BlueGolfer@aol.com; Date: Thu, 18 Feb 1999 14:36:00 EST; I will check the instrument voltage regulator with my Multimeter. Checking the sending unit seems more problematic. I believe it basically puts out different current depending on the changing resista; /html/tigers/1999-02/msg00455.html (8,154 bytes)
5. Re: Calibrating water temp gauges (score: 1): Author: Bob Palmer <rpalmer@ames.ucsd.edu>; Date: Thu, 18 Feb 1999 11:42:20 -0800; My all stock temperature-gauge/ voltage-regulator has been remarkably accurate. I measured the resistance of the sending unit and it's exactly 700 ohms at room temperature. I'll measure it again whe; /html/tigers/1999-02/msg00457.html (8,367 bytes)

Running 75% is way to high. 50% ought to be your limit to get the best combination of boil point, freeze point and heat removal capacity.

7. Re: Calibrating water temp gauges (score: 1): Author: Steve Laifman <laifman@flash.net>; Date: Thu, 18 Feb 1999 11:57:35 -0800; Rob, The simultaneous immersion of the operating (and grounded) temp sender/voltage regulator/gauge system versus a standard IS the best method. It's an end-to-end test, so it won't isolate the probl; /html/tigers/1999-02/msg00459.html (8,256 bytes)

Re: Calibrating water temp gauges (score: 1): Author: DJoh797014@aol.com; Date: Thu, 18 Feb 1999 15:57:54 EST; Anything more than a 50-50 water/antifreeze actually reduces the heat transfer of the coolant. I'm sure other member of the net will advise as to hold to adjust the gauge by correcting the electroni; /html/tigers/1999-02/msg00464.html (7,287 bytes)
