Norgren 18-015-884 Gauge - R1/8 Port, 0-16 bar
Part Number: 18-015-884
Quick Summary
Norgren 18-015-884 gauge monitors air pressure in compressed-air systems to ensure consistent performance in automated machinery. When pressure drifts, equipment efficiency drops and maintenance costs rise, making reliable measurement essential. In practice, engineers weigh CE conformity, IP protection, and SIL safety considerations to match regulatory and safety standards in their plants. This compact gauge offers a 0–16 bar scale and a standard R1/8 port, enabling quick installation and straightforward integration with Norgren components. By delivering clear readings in real time, it supports lean manufacturing, reduces energy waste, and helps protect downstream actuators from pressure fluctuations across critical pneumatic circuits.

FAQs
The 18-015-884 uses a standard R1/8 port, aligning with common pneumatic fittings and panel-mounted installations. Its compact 40×40×45 mm footprint and 0.05 kg weight simplify integration into crowded control panels and automation enclosures, reducing mounting complexity and spare-parts inventory while enabling quick retrofits in existing systems.
The gauge reads from 0 to 16 bar, which corresponds to 0 to 232 psi and 0 to 1.6 MPa. This single instrument covers typical pneumatic networks in manufacturing and assembly lines, allowing straightforward interpretation for teams accustomed to different units and enabling rapid verification of supply regulator performance.
Operating temperature spans -20 to 65 °C, which supports use in many factory and outdoor-adjacent locations. While the gauge is robust for standard industrial settings, for extreme exposure or dust/moisture, consider protective enclosures or vibration-isolating mounting to preserve readability and longevity.
Install the gauge on a clean, stable port with proper thread engagement on the R1/8 connection. Use compatible fittings to avoid cross-threading and ensure a leak-free seal. Mount the device where vibration is minimized and line movement is constrained, and keep readings away from heat sources that could skew results over time.
By providing real-time pressure visibility, the gauge helps operators detect regulator faults and pressure drops early, reducing energy waste and unexpected downtime. The compact form factor lowers installation costs, while standardized connections streamline maintenance, contributing to faster troubleshooting and improved system reliability across the production line.
