Detail view of PRESSURE GAUGE
Description
Pressure gauges are instruments designed to measure the pressure of media in a system. Measuring the pressure in your system is a critical quality step to ensure consistency of a product and safety check to be aware of leaks or building pressure in a system.
Before specifying a gauge, it is important to understand the basic principles of what pressure is. Then the correct pressure gauge can be determined based on selection criteria, to accurately measure the pressure within the system.
Even the best measuring equipment produces a certain deviation from the actual value. It is important to know how this measurement accuracy is defined. Digital gauges in comparison with analog ones have higher accuracy.
The gauges are all liquid filled and/or equipped with a restriction screw in order to absorb any sudden pressure drop thereby preventing damage. Safety glass and blowout discs are standard for all gauges and all have dual scales (MPa/psi).

Pressure Gauge in a Lubrication System — Why It Matters
In a centralized lubrication system, the pressure gauge is mounted on the pump outlet or distribution manifold and gives a continuous visual indication of system operating pressure. This is one of the most important diagnostic tools available to a maintenance engineer — the pressure reading tells you at a glance whether the system is performing correctly.
- Pressure lower than normal — indicates a leak in the distribution line, a stuck-open relief valve, or a worn pump
- Pressure higher than normal — indicates a blocked metering cartridge, blocked distributor, or blocked line downstream
- No pressure buildup — indicates pump failure, empty reservoir, or a major line break
Monitoring pressure at every maintenance check takes less than five seconds and can prevent bearing failures that would otherwise go undetected until a machine breaks down. For automated pressure monitoring with electrical alarm output, use a pressure switch alongside the gauge.
Selection Guide
| Parameter | Typical Value for Lubrication Systems |
|---|---|
| Pressure range | 0–28 kg/cm² (standard lubrication circuits) |
| Dial size | 63 mm or 100 mm |
| Fill fluid | Glycerine filled — dampens pulsation from pump strokes |
| Connection | ¼" BSP bottom or back entry |
| Scale | Dual scale — kg/cm² and bar or psi |
| Safety | Blowout disc at rear — protects operator from diaphragm failure |
