Overview
The Ashcroft 25-1009-AW-02L-160 is a Type 1009 industrial pressure gauge engineered for demanding hydraulic, pneumatic, and compressed air systems. Featuring a stainless steel 316L tube with aluminum bronze connection, this gauge combines proven reliability with durable construction. The 0–160 PSI range and 2.5″ dial size make it ideal for equipment monitoring, system troubleshooting, and general-purpose pressure measurement in workshops, plants, and field applications.
Key Features
- PowerFlex Movement: Superior resistance to shock, vibration, and pulsation; extends product life and reduces maintenance costs
- True Zero Technology: Reduces reading errors using a “zero box” instead of conventional dial pins, ensuring product safety and system control
- Removable Bayonet Ring: Allows easy access for minor calibration adjustments and dial replacement without special tools
- Stainless Steel Housing: 316L SS tube with aluminum bronze connection (rated to 1,000 PSI max) for corrosion resistance
- ASME B40.100 Compliance: Accuracy certified and traceable to NIST standards for confidence in critical measurements
