Agree with the downsides of the GDH 14, they arent enough to make me go out and replace it now, but I would probably be leaning more towards the Vac Checker if I was in the market for one now.

Which Vacuum Gauge

You don't need a vacuum gauge at all, exept for wet layup vacuum bagging. It can be handy, but it is usually not necessary. If you want to get one, the only thing you want to look for is how you...

If you are doing infusion or resin degassing, most infusion catch pots and degassing chambers have a gauge built in or attached to them so you won't often need another one.

Vacuum gauge are a must. Especially if you are doing infusion. I highly recommend the GDH200-14. This is a digital absolute pressure gauge. For infusion you can connect it to your resin inlet to get ...

For infusion you should definitely have a gauge - and a digital one is totally worth it if you are doing this professionally or have expensive materials under your bag. I have one like theGDH200-14.....

Horses for courses Dominik. I love my GDH-200, it saves me LOADS of time. But I certainly wouldn't say it is a must for a non-production environment. Realistically, if you have the time to leave a...

If the 200€ are too much to spend for equipment it might be better to do wet layup. Otherwise you will spend more money soon on wasted materials.

GDH 200-14 is excellent.

The GDH-14 is great but the solution is 1mbar while our Vac Checker has 0.01mbar. That helps a lot with drop tests.Also the VacChecker shows the boiling point of water at ambient temperature and...

The vac checker is a truly amazing product. There is simply nothing I would change about it. But I have to say that it was my first digital gauge, and still is my only one.
