What gauge is this?

[Vagrent]

Can anyone please tell me what sort of gauge this is please

 

[nathan5346]

Pressure

 

[matthew2riches]

It's a kg/cm2 guage

 

[The Mad Hat Man]

A round one



( reads P.S.I)

 

[Vagrent]

A round, pressure gauge in kg/cm3. thanks guys I am none the wiser now:lol::lol:

I sort of knew that already

What's it for please, is it oil or turbo pressure? Or what ever

 

[Vagrent]

I just re read MHMs post.

Psi as in tyres? I bought it at a booty, looks cool, might just put it in me cab and lie to people about what it does:lol:

It reads ( if you look at the top of the gauge) in LB/sq" ie pounds per square inch ( often abbreviated to [per square inch {PSI}]. That means it reads pressure. As it reads up to 150psi (per square inch). Most gauges are designed to read at a nominal mid position - ie 75PSI, I would suggest that it is an oil pressure gauge.

Unless yu run your tyres at over 50psi, then it would be inaccurate and a waste of a gauge to use it for that

Thank MHM, when I was looking at this, pondering its use, I thought "I bet MadHatMan knows what this does"

And I was right:lol: nice one MHM

the screwed connection with the pipe on is for the oil that youre measuring and the big round hole is to take a bulb fitting so you can see it in the dark ..... but i expect youd worked that out.....its sunday after lunch , the mother in law is here and its ****ing down with rain.... id get wet scurryin down the garden to the shed

 

[Fur Trapper]

could it be a air pressure gauge off of a lorry? to measure the out put of the on board air compressor , the hose looks as if it could be

I was wondering about that tube, as an oil capillary is usually a small copper pipe, coz yu dont want rubber pipe bursting and 7 litres of hot engine oil being pumped into yo cab at 50PSI .
But what ever it is used for - it was designed to measure pressure of up to 150PSI.

Dint go out in the 90 today, should of cause it were raining and I'd av got me monthly shower:lol:

Yeah that pipe don't look like it could handle 150psi
Gonna take it to a man that specializes in that sort of thing. Failing that I will just put it in place so it looks the part:lol::lol:

It's not a gauge off a HGV, as the older vehicles sometimes had the front and rear systems on on gauge. I'd also agree with oil pressure gauge, with a wet feed I take it?

 

[dave18]

Could be an oil pressure one but with a slight difference. Ive seen two that were similar, you had a pressure switch but instead of a electric it was a sealed diaphram, you would set it up and then fill the tube up with a supplied fluid and there you go. Only problem is accuracy but its better than the other 7ltr of ****ing oil version lol
