In Reply to: Case IH Temp Gauge posted by DanMD on January 20, 2014 at 19:00:29:
Hi Dan, a simple explanation: The boiling point of water varies with the atmospheric pressure. Atmospheric pressure is depended on how many feet above sea level you live at and the barometric pressure. This is the reason that all modern rads are pressurized to keep the boiling point higher and more consistent. So when the sensor part of the gauge is installed in the MD which I believe would have a pressurized rad cap the boiling point would be up in the RED on the gauge.
I had to explain the same thing to a daughter that moved to Salt Lake City, UT that is about 4200 ft above sea level. She complained it took so much longer to cook potatoes versus where she used to live at 400 ft above sea level. In Salt Lake City the water boils at a lower temperature therefore since the temperature is lower it takes longer to cook the potatoes.

Let’s examine the purpose and design of these fasteners in order to ensure their proper use. Fasteners are probably one of the aspects of mechanics that is given the least amount of thought.
