Stainless Steel Pressure Gauge 0-1000 PSI 1/4" MPT

Built to withstand the toughest environments.

When you're dealing with high-pressure systems in the likes of hydraulic systems, water pumps, or air compressor units, a reliable pressure gauge is essential. This stainless steel pressure gauge is a cut above the rest when it comes to durability and performance. It's housed in a tough stainless steel case that offers a high level of protection against knocks and corrosion.

The standout feature of this gauge is the liquid fill - it's a glycerine-filled case that's designed to dampen out any vibration and pulsation, giving you a smooth and accurate reading on the dial. And the good news is that this liquid fill really does extend the lifespan of the gauge, by helping to lubricate the internal mechanisms and stop the needle from flapping all over the place.

Working in harsh environments, such as chemical plants or offshore rigs, requires the best possible equipment. And when it comes to pressure gauges, a stainless steel one is the way to go. The combination of a stainless steel case and brass/bronze internals makes this gauge the perfect choice for anyone working in a tough environment. Whether you're measuring water pressure or monitoring a hydraulic line, this gauge gives you the stability and clarity you need to make the right decisions.

The Benefits of a Liquid Filled Stainless Steel Pressure Gauge

So what's the difference between this gauge and a standard dry gauge? Well, for a start, it's not just about the liquid fill - it's the way it's put together that really sets it apart. Unlike dry gauges that are susceptible to condensation and mechanical wear, this filled gauge is sealed tight against the elements. And the benefits are clear: you get a more accurate reading, a longer lifespan and a gauge that's less likely to develop a dodgy window due to temperature changes.

This gauge is perfect for high-vibration applications, like on a compressor or a reciprocating pump. And the stainless steel case ensures that the gauge stays looking professional even after years of exposure to the elements. And let's not forget about corrosion resistance - the stainless steel case is rust-proof, so you don't have to worry about it looking battered and bruised after a long period of use.

• Better Durability: The liquid fill helps to protect the internal movement from mechanical failure due to vibration and shock.

• Corrosion-Proof: The stainless steel case gives you excellent protection in corrosive environments where other gauges might rust.

• Easy to Read: The liquid fill helps to stop the needle from flapping about, giving you a clear and accurate reading of the scale.

• Versatile: Suitable for use with water, oil and gas, making it a great choice for a wide range of industrial applications.

• Temperature Resilient: The liquid fill helps to regulate the temperature of the internal components, minimising the effect of thermal expansion on accuracy.

Key Specifications

This Stainless Steel Pressure Gauge 0-1000 PSI is built to meet the most demanding industrial standards, giving you the reliability and precision you need. The face plate is a standard 2 1/2" size, making it easy to read from a distance while fitting comfortably in compact panels or on crowded manifolds.

The dial is a dual scale, showing both PSI and Bar - a must-have for equipment that may be used internationally or by operators who prefer metric units. The scale runs from 0 to 1000 PSI (0-70 Bar), covering a wide range of potential applications. The connection is a standard 1/4" MPT (Male Pipe Thread), located at the bottom of the gauge, making it easy to connect to a vast array of fittings and adapters. The internal wetted parts are made of copper alloy or bronze, while the case is pure stainless steel - a great balance of cost and performance.

The accuracy of these stainless steel pressure gauges is typically within ASME B40.100 Grade standards, so you can trust that the pressure readings you see on the scale are reliable. When you look at the options available for pressure gauges, the liquid fill feature combined with the stainless steel case makes this model a standout product.

Installation and Reliability - Giving You the Confidence You Need

Installing a stainless steel pressure gauge is pretty straightforward - and it instantly makes your system that much better, too.

To fit one of these things in, just slap a bit of thread sealant on the 1/4" MPT connector, and then screw the gauge into place. But make sure to use a wrench on the square bit of the connector and not try to tighten it by hand - you would probably end up cracking the gauge itself, what with it being liquid-filled and all.
Once installed, you'll find that these gauges need precious little maintenance. The liquid fill's a permanent setup, so you won't need to do any top-ups, ever. And because of the way they're built, to be honest, you'd probably need to be doing something pretty extreme for them to even need a bit of TLC.

The good news is that if you've got an old setup with steel gauges that are starting to get a bit played out, these new-fangled liquid-filled models will be a breath of fresh air. You'll notice that the needle moves in a nice, smooth motion - which is probably because there's no dry friction getting in the way.

Now, whenever you're in the market for some new gauges, you've got a few things to bear in mind. First off, you need to think about what kind of media you're going to be working with. And second, what kind of conditions you're going to be putting them in. Our stainless steel gauges are pretty handy for places where things get washed down a lot (like a food factory), or if you're working in the great outdoors.

That being said, if you've got something that's seriously corrosive and it's going to eat through the bronze bits, you might need to look for a gauge with some stainless steel wetted parts. But for most air, water and oil jobs, this one will be just peachy. We sell a bunch of different gauges, but this one's one of the most popular because it's a good balance of price and performance.

The dual scale (PSI and Bar) makes it nice and easy to use in any part of the world. When you're placing an order, just double-check the part number to make sure you're getting the right connection size and pressure range.

And while we're on the subject, you might want to know that we package each gauge up nice and securely so that it arrives in one piece. If you've bought from us before, you know the kind of quality we're talking about - but even if this is your first time, we think you'll be pretty impressed.

The thing is, these stainless steel gauges can be used in all sorts of applications. In the food and drink industry, you might need a sanitary seal, but in general, these gauges are used on utility lines where the stainless steel case makes everything nice and clean. They're good for compressors, too - the liquid fill helps with all the pressure cycles. And in hydraulic systems, 1000 PSI / 70 Bar is a pretty standard capacity.

The gauges themselves are pretty accurate for most process monitoring needs. And one of the best things about them is that the liquid fill does a few things all at once - it protects against vibration, and it also helps to lubricate the movement, so you don't get any unnecessary wear and tear. This means that your gauge will stay accurate for longer than one of those dry gauges would.
