Product Description

The WIKA digital test pressure gauge has stainless steel 316L wetted parts, which resist corrosion against chloride. The digital display is 5 1/2″ wide for clear readings and is enclosed in a corrosion-resistant stainless steel case that has a rubber covering to protect the gauge against minor impacts. The gauge measure pressure in 18 standard units, plus a user-defined custom unit, up to 10,000 pounds per square inch (psi) or equivalent, and is accurate to + or – 0.05 percent of span over the entire range of the gauge. The male connection is available as a bottom mount or a lower back mount and has a 1/4″ National Pipe Thread (NPT) rate. This gauge is suitable for applications that require high-precision results.

Pressure gauges are instruments used to measure the pressure of a gas or liquid inside a vessel and, often, to help ensure the optimal amount of pressure for a given application. Pressure gauges can range from everyday instruments, such as those used to measure the air pressure in a car or bicycle tire, to highly accurate gauges used in mechanical and industrial processing. Most often, pressure gauges measure pressure relative to another reference. For instance, gauge pressure measures pressure relative to ambient air. An example of a pressure gauge measuring relative to ambient air is a tire pressure gauge or a blood pressure gauge. Differential pressure is the difference in pressure between two points, such as when measuring liquid flow along various points in a pipeline. An absolute pressure gauge measures pressure relative to a perfect vacuum, such as an atmospheric or barometric pressure gauge. All types of pressure gauges include either a male or a female mount to connect to the vessel where pressure is being measured, and display results on a dial with varying increments of measure across a given range.

WIKA Instrument Corporation is a global manufacturer of pressure and temperature measurement instruments, including pressure gauges, diaphragm seals, pressure transmitters, and thermometers, that meet International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards for quality assurance. The company, founded in 1946, is headquartered in Lawrenceville, GA.
