160mm Industrial Pressure Gauges

160mm industrial pressure gauges provide clear local pressure indication on plant, machinery and process equipment where a larger dial is needed for easier reading at a practical working distance.

This range is suited to industrial pressure measurement, pressure monitoring, replacement gauges, OEM equipment and maintenance use. Choose the correct pressure range, process connection, entry position and mounting style to match the existing installation or new system requirements.

160mm Industrial Pressure Gauges Overview

160mm Industrial Pressure Gauges are designed for applications where maximum readability and robust construction are essential. Featuring a 308 stainless steel case and brass internals these gauges offer enhanced resistance to environmental exposure while maintaining reliable performance. The large 160mm dial allows precise and easy interpretation of pressure values even from a distance.

Available in bottom entry and back entry configurations these gauges support panel mounting surface mounting and direct mounting. They are widely used in industrial systems where clear pressure indication and durability are critical.

160mm Gauge Selection Guide

160mm industrial pressure gauges are used where clear, easy-to-read local pressure indication is required on plant, machinery and process equipment. The larger dial size helps operators and maintenance teams read pressure values from a more practical viewing distance, making this format useful on larger installations and systems where instruments are not always close to eye level.

These gauges are typically specified for industrial pressure measurement duties where robust construction and suitable mounting are important. Available bottom entry and back entry configurations support direct mounting, panel mounting and surface mounting, depending on the installation layout and visibility requirements.

When replacing an existing gauge, match the pressure range, process connection, entry position, mounting style and compatibility with the process media before ordering. For new equipment builds or maintenance stock, consider whether the gauge will be exposed to vibration, outdoor conditions, washdown, heat or corrosive atmospheres, as these factors can influence the most suitable pressure gauge type and accessories.

Large Dial Readability

The 160mm dial size supports clear local pressure indication on larger plant and equipment, helping users read pressure values from a more practical distance.

Industrial Construction

Designed for industrial pressure measurement, these gauges use robust construction suitable for routine monitoring, maintenance replacement and process instrumentation duties.

Mounting Flexibility

Bottom entry and back entry options allow gauges to be selected for direct mounting, panel mounting or surface mounting where suitable for the installation.

Industrial Applications

160mm gauges are commonly selected for pressure indication duties where visibility, durability and practical installation are important.

Process Plant Monitoring

Used for local pressure indication on pipework, vessels and process equipment where operators need a clear dial reading during routine checks.

Hydraulic Systems

Suitable for pressure monitoring on industrial hydraulic equipment when the required range, connection and mounting arrangement match the system.

Pump and Compressor Systems

Used to monitor operating pressure on pumps, compressors and associated pipework as part of maintenance and operational checks.

Panel and Surface Installations

Back entry and suitable mounting options can support panel-mounted or surface-mounted pressure indication on control panels and equipment skids.

Choosing the Right Gauge

Select a gauge by matching the technical requirements of the system, the installation layout and the working environment.

Pressure Range

Choose a pressure range that suits the normal operating pressure of the system and allows clear readings without regularly operating at the extreme end of the scale.

Connection and Entry

Check the process connection, thread type and whether the installation needs bottom entry or back entry before replacing an existing gauge.

Mounting Position

Consider whether the gauge will be directly mounted, panel mounted or surface mounted, and ensure the dial can be viewed safely and clearly.

Media and Environment

Assess the process media, ambient conditions, vibration and exposure. Accessories or alternative gauge types may be required for demanding applications.

Pressure Gauge FAQs

Common buyer questions about selecting, replacing and installing 160mm industrial pressure gauges.

When should I choose a 160mm pressure gauge?

A 160mm gauge is useful where the dial needs to be read clearly from a distance or on larger plant. It is often selected for industrial systems, panels and process equipment.

Can I replace a smaller gauge with a 160mm gauge?

Only if the pressure range, process connection, thread, entry position, mounting space and installation layout are compatible. Always check clearance and visibility before changing dial size.

What is the difference between bottom entry and back entry?

Bottom entry gauges connect from the lower part of the case and are often used for direct mounting. Back entry gauges connect from the rear and are commonly used for panels or surface-mounted layouts.

Do I need accessories with a 160mm gauge?

Accessories may be required depending on the application. Syphons, gauge cocks, valves, snubbers or adaptors can help with isolation, installation or protection from certain process conditions.
