Overview
The Ashcroft Q-8962 pressure gauge is a durable, direct-reading instrument designed for accurate pressure measurement in industrial and commercial systems. With a 0-5000 PSI operating range and Type 100 mounting bracket, this gauge accommodates high-pressure applications in hydraulic lines, pneumatic circuits, and process vessels. The Q-8962 remains a trusted choice for maintenance technicians and system operators who require dependable pressure monitoring.
Key Features
- High-pressure range: 0-5000 PSI for demanding industrial applications
- Type 100 mounting bracket for secure installation and orientation flexibility
- Direct-reading dial for quick pressure assessment without external equipment
- Durable construction suitable for factory and field environments
- Discontinued model with proven track record in heavy-duty operations
Technical Specifications
The Ashcroft Q-8962 is available in various configurations. Standard variants feature either 1/4-inch or 1/2-inch NPT female inlet connections. Dial sizes typically range from 2.5 to 4 inches in diameter. For specific dimensional and material specifications (case material, tube type, liquid fill), verify the exact configuration code on your unit or contact a distributor, as the Q-8962 line includes both dry and liquid-filled (glycerin) versions.
Typical Applications
- Hydraulic Systems: Monitor pump discharge pressure and circuit protection
- Pneumatic Networks: Verify compressor and distribution line pressures
- Industrial Boilers: Track steam and water pressure in heating systems
