ABSTRACT:
A gauge shroud for protecting a gauge of a first select equivalent outer diameter which is connected to the distal end of a gauge stem extending a first select distance from a body includes a base having a top and a bottom separated by a second select distance slightly less than the first select distance. The base defines a radially inward extending gauge stem receiving slot between the top and bottom. A cap has a side wall having a second select equivalent inner diameter, an open top and an open bottom. The second select equivalent diameter is greater than the first select equivalent diameter. The hinge pivotally connects the cap and the base, whereby the cap can be pivoted relative to the base between a closed position with the open bottom of the cap abutting the base top and an open position of the open bottom inclined from the base. A latch between the cap and the base selectively maintains the cap in the closed position.
