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.

Key Benefits

  1. Accurate Readings: With a 0–160 psig scale, the gauge offers excellent visibility for pressures typically used in compressed air systems, pneumatic controls, and process equipment.

  2. Compact Design: The 1/8″ NPT connection and small dial face make the gauge easy to integrate into compact assemblies without taking up excessive space.

  3. Durability: Rugged construction materials such as stainless steel, brass, and reinforced glass/polycarbonate lenses provide long-term resistance to wear, vibration, and environmental exposure.

  4. Versatility: Can be installed on regulators, filter-regulator-lubricator (FRL) units, valves, compressors, or standalone pneumatic assemblies.

  5. Energy Independent: Mechanical gauge design ensures no need for batteries or electrical supply, ideal for remote or portable equipment.

  6. Easy Maintenance: Simple to clean, replace, or recalibrate, reducing downtime in the event of wear.

Applications

The Gauge Only, 1/8″ NPT, 0–160 psig finds wide usage across multiple industries, including:

  • Compressed Air Systems: Monitoring air pressure in compressors, dryers, and pneumatic tools.

  • Pneumatics & Automation: Ensuring stable pressure control in actuators, cylinders, and automated machinery.

  • Process Control: Used in laboratory setups, pilot plants, and industrial production lines requiring precise pressure monitoring.

  • HVAC Systems: Monitoring air handling units, duct pressure, and vacuum lines.

  • General Industrial: Measuring pressure in filters, lubricators, and regulators (FLR assemblies).

  • Testing & Calibration: Integrated into testing benches or portable diagnostic kits for pressure validation.
