The gauge uses a standard G1/8A port, enabling fast integration with common manifolds and fittings, reducing installation time and risk of leaks in compact pneumatic loops. This directly improves system up-time and reduces commissioning costs, particularly in tight control cabinets where space is at a premium. The 0-1.6 bar scale provides precise, actionable readings for typical factory air lines, helping technicians optimize regulator settings to minimize energy waste and keep cycles on track. Operating from -20 to 65 °C, the device maintains accurate readings across varied plant environments, from chilly workshops to warm assembly floors, reducing the need for frequent recalibration and replacement. At 60.5 mm in length, 42 mm in height and 42.5 mm in width, and weighing 0.081 kg, the gauge offers a compact, lightweight solution that minimizes panel distortion and supports easy retrofits in existing layouts. The product originates from Poland and carries Norgren’s proven design philosophy for rugged reliability, backed by a datasheet that provides installation guidance and reference standards. Together these characteristics support better maintenance planning, longer service intervals, and improved overall equipment effectiveness in automated lines.

FAQs
Begin with ensuring the port and gauge threads are clean and free of debris. Use appropriate thread sealing as specified by the datasheet, align the gauge with the port to avoid cross-threading, and tighten securely with standard hand tools until snug. For exact torque recommendations, refer to the official installation guidance in the datasheet. Confirm there are no leaks after installation and verify the 0-1.6 bar scale reads correctly when pressure is applied.
The 0-1.6 bar scale provides a direct reading of system pressure in the operational range most common to small to mid-size pneumatic circuits. This helps operators set regulators accurately, detect overpressure or underpressure conditions, and maintain process consistency. Regular monitoring with this gauge can reduce energy waste by preventing oversized regulator settings and minimize tool wear caused by improper pressure.
This gauge is designed for pressures up to 1.6 bar and is best suited for steady-state monitoring in typical compressed air lines, pneumatic tooling, and similar automation components. For high-velocity or high-flow applications, verify compatibility with your line pressure profiles and consult the datasheet for any limits related to dynamic pressure changes or vibration.
Certification details are not listed in the provided data. For regulatory compliance and markings such as CE, IP ratings, or SIL, please consult the official Norgren datasheet or contact the supplier directly to confirm region-specific requirements and documentation.
By providing precise, real-time pressure readings at the point of use, the gauge helps optimize regulator settings, reduce energy consumption, and prevent downtime caused by pressure fluctuations. Its compact form factor simplifies retrofits and maintenance, contributing to lower installation costs and improved equipment availability, which translates into tangible returns through reduced operating expenses and increased production throughput.
