Description
This product is for both general and laboratory use. The gauge of rugged design is mounted on a heavy metal base giving great stability. The read-out is by a substantial black needle on a 100mm diameter white face. The back of the gauge is enclosed by clear Perspex, allowing the mechanism to be viewed. The input metal tube is is rifled and designed to fit rubber tubing of 8mm internal diameter.
Calibration: Scales are given on the white face in both kg/cm2 (black) and psi (red). Conversion to SI units (pascals) can be obtained with sufficient accuracy by multiplying the kg/cm2 readings by 105.
Note: The gauge is for positive pressures only (i.e. those in excess of atmospheric pressure). Connection to a source of negative pressure (e.g. vacuum pump) could result in damage to the apparatus. ( BC-2004 )
