1500-8.5A Absolute Pressure Test Gauge

Applications

  • Test, laboratory, and production applications

Product features

  • Capsules up to and including the 50 psia range; 100 psia and above use Bourdon tubes
  • In the 50 psia range, pressure is applied to the case and is referenced against the evacuated capsule
  • In the 100 psia and above with Bourdon tubes, pressure is applied to a Bourdon tube, which is referenced against an evacuated Bourdon
  • Available in 14 standard ranges, these gauges combine aneroid convenience with liquid-column accuracy
  • Rugged enough to maintain their high accuracy in all kinds of test and process applications
