Overview
The Ward analog pressure gauge 0-160 PSI / 0-11 bar dual scale is a general-purpose measurement tool for pneumatic, hydraulic, and fluid pressure systems. This gauge features a dual-scale dial design allowing technicians and operators to read pressure simultaneously in both PSI and bar units, making it ideal for mixed-unit shop environments.
Key Features
- Dual-scale dial: 0–160 PSI and 0–11 bar on single face
- Accurate, easy-to-read analog needle for clear pressure indication
- 1/4 inch connection diameter for standard pneumatic and hydraulic line fittings
- 2 inch (50.8 mm) dial face for clear visibility in industrial settings
- Bourdon tube mechanism for reliable, mechanical pressure sensing
- Compact form factor suitable for panel mounting or line-mounted applications
Technical Specifications
- Maximum Pressure: 160 PSI (11 bar)
- Pressure Scale: 0–160 PSI / 0–11 bar (dual scale)
- Dial Diameter: 2 inches (50.8 mm)
- Connection: 1/4 inch
- Accuracy: ±2.5% full scale
- Operating Temperature Range: –20°C to +80°C
- Case Material: Steel or stainless steel enclosure
- Sensing Element: Bourdon tube
Typical Applications
This Ward pressure gauge is commonly deployed in:
- Pneumatic systems: air compressors, pneumatic tools, blow-off systems
- Hydraulic systems: pump discharge, circuit monitoring, system diagnostics
- Plumbing and water systems: pump discharge, line pressure verification
- Industrial maintenance: general pressure monitoring across fluid power circuits
- Mobile equipment and vehicle service bays where dual PSI/bar readout is preferred
Compatibility & Replacements
Compatible With
- Standard 1/4 inch NPT and BSPT threaded pneumatic/hydraulic ports
- Pneumatic and hydraulic systems rated to 160 PSI maximum
- Air compressors, hydraulic pumps, and general industrial pressure circuits
- Panel-mounted gauge brackets and gauge stands
Replaces / Drop-In Replacement For
This gauge is a direct mechanical replacement for any 0–160 PSI / 0–11 bar analog gauge with 1/4 inch connection and 2 inch dial. Verify connection thread type (NPT vs. BSPT) before installation. No specific OEM part cross-reference is available; compatibility is determined by connection size, pressure range, and dial orientation.
Works With
- All 1/4 inch NPT and BSPT pneumatic line fittings
- Hydraulic systems with standard quick-disconnect or threaded ports
- Gauge snubbers and isolators (recommended for pulsating pressure systems)
- Panel enclosures and outdoor industrial environments (stainless case recommended)
