Gauge only, 1/8″ NPT 0-160 psig
Description of Gauge only, 1/8″ NPT 0-160 psig
The Pressure Gauge Only, 1/8″ NPT, 0–160 psig is a precision-engineered mechanical device designed to provide accurate measurement of pressure within pneumatic systems, compressed air equipment, industrial machinery, and other fluid control applications. Built with durability, accuracy, and ease of installation in mind, this gauge is an essential instrument for operators, technicians, and engineers who require real-time monitoring of pressure conditions to ensure system performance, safety, and reliability.
This gauge is designed to measure pressure ranges from 0 to 160 psig (pounds per square inch gauge), making it ideal for applications that demand mid-range monitoring of compressed air, gases, or compatible fluids. It is supplied as a standalone gauge unit (without regulators or additional assemblies), which makes it highly versatile and compatible with a wide variety of regulators, filters, valves, or pneumatic accessories already in service.
Technical Features
-
Pressure Range: 0–160 psig (pounds per square inch gauge), suitable for mid-level pneumatic and compressed air applications.
-
Connection Type: 1/8″ NPT (National Pipe Thread) male connection, ensuring compatibility with standard North American and international pneumatic fittings.
-
Gauge Type: Bourdon tube mechanical gauge, offering reliable analog pressure readings without the need for external power sources.
-
Dial Size: Typically 1.5″ to 2″ (38–50 mm) diameter dial face for clear visibility, with bold numerals and high-contrast markings.
-
Material Construction: Corrosion-resistant stainless steel or brass wetted parts for longevity in industrial environments. Polycarbonate or tempered glass lens ensures durability and scratch resistance.
-
Accuracy Class: ±2% of full scale, delivering precise and repeatable readings across the operating range.
-
Operating Temperature Range: -20 °C to +60 °C (-4 °F to +140 °F), allowing the gauge to withstand a variety of operating conditions.
-
Mounting Options: Panel mount, inline mount, or direct mount configuration depending on application needs.
