Main Components of ATF-100H Pressure Gauge/Taper Thread Bottom (0~5bar, 3/8"PT SUS304 Bottom)
The ATF-100H Pressure Gauge/Taper Thread Bottom (0~5bar, 3/8"PT SUS304 Bottom) is an oil-free pressure gauge with side-mounted pointer mechanism that offers easy and convenient use suitable for various industries.
Bourdon Tube: A curved metal tube in the shape of a C or oval which expands when pressurized
Gear & Pointer Mechanism: Converts the expansion of the Bourdon tube into the rotation of the pointer
Housing: The rear or side has an output shaft for installation purposes
Dry Type (Oil-free): No glycerin oil inside, suitable for non-vibrating environments
Working Principle of ATF-100H Pressure Gauge/Taper Thread Bottom (0~5bar, 3/8"PT SUS304 Bottom)
The pressure from liquids or gases (such as air, water, oil, etc.) enters the Bourdon tube causing it to expand slightly. As the pressure increases, the end of the tube moves. The end of the Bourdon tube is connected to a gear mechanism which converts linear movement into pointer rotation. The pointer rotates to indicate the measured pressure on the dial.
Advantages of Oil-free (Dry Gauge) Type:
Lightweight
Suitable for general use in non-high vibration environments
Used in systems with stable pressure, easy to maintain
