Description
1. Introduction to the Brass MT-P110BT Pressure Gauge
The Bourdon tube pressure gauge, Brass MT-P110BT, is a reliable and versatile mechanical pressure measurement device designed for a wide range of industrial applications. Known for its durability, accuracy, and ease of installation, this gauge provides consistent performance in systems where monitoring pressure is crucial for safety and operational efficiency. With its high-quality Bourdon tube mechanism and brass wetted parts, it is suitable for use with non-corrosive gases and liquids that are compatible with copper alloy components.
2. Flexible Dial Size Options for Various Installations
This model is available in several dial sizes, including 40 mm (1½″), 50 mm (2″), and 63 mm (2½″), allowing users to select the ideal display size according to space limitations and readability requirements. The dial face is clearly marked to support fast pressure reading under various lighting conditions. The compact 40 mm size is ideal for tight installation areas, while the larger 63 mm dial offers enhanced visibility for industrial equipment panels, pump stations, compressor rooms, and hydraulic systems.
3. Wide Pressure Measurement Range (-1 to 1000 bar)
One of the defining characteristics of the Bourdon tube pressure gauge, Brass MT-P110BT is its pressure range, which spans from -1 bar (vacuum) up to +1000 bar, depending on configuration. This wide range capability means the gauge can be used in both vacuum applications (such as suction lines, vacuum pumps, and laboratory systems) and high-pressure applications (such as hydraulic presses, industrial compressors, and pneumatic systems). The Bourdon tube element, housed securely within the brass movement structure, converts pressure into mechanical displacement to display accurate readings on the dial.
4. Bottom Connection and Direct Mounting Design
The gauge features a bottom connection design, making it suitable for direct mounting on pipelines, manifolds, pumps, or equipment enclosures. The ¼” NPT (National Pipe Thread) process connection ensures compatibility with standard piping systems and fittings commonly used in global industrial settings. The direct mounting pattern reduces the need for extra adapters or brackets, simplifying installation and improving efficiency.
5. IP65 Ingress Protection for Harsh Environments
To enhance durability, the Bourdon tube pressure gauge, Brass MT-P110BT includes IP65 ingress protection. This ensures resistance against dust penetration and water spray, allowing the gauge to perform reliably even in challenging industrial environments. IP65 protection is especially important in applications where the gauge may be exposed to cleaning processes, outdoor use, humid environments, or airborne contaminants.
6. Dry or Glycerin-Filled Execution for Vibration Resistance
Another important feature of this model is its execution type. The gauge may be used as a dry execution gauge under standard operating conditions. However, it is also glycerin-fillable, meaning users have the option to fill the gauge case with glycerin to create a liquid-filled gauge. Liquid-filled execution significantly improves performance in vibrating or pulsating systems by stabilizing the pointer, reducing wear on internal components, and improving readability. This makes the gauge ideal for heavy-duty environments.
7. Construction Materials and Media Compatibility
From a structural standpoint, the gauge is constructed with a brass Bourdon tube and brass connection, combined with a strong stainless-steel or coated metal case (depending on user specification). Brass wetted parts offer strong resistance against neutral gases, mineral oils, hydraulic fluids, and compressed air media. For systems involving aggressive chemicals, stainless steel models may be recommended. However, for general industrial applications, the Bourdon tube pressure gauge, Brass MT-P110BT offers a cost-effective and long-lasting solution.
