Ashcroft 2.5in 160psi Pressure Gauge
This Ashcroft gauge measures pressure from 0 to 160 psi with a 1.5 percent accuracy rating. The 2 1/2 inch dial sits inside a 304 stainless steel case with a polycarbonate lens. A 1/4 inch male NPT connection at the bottom allows direct installation. The liquid-filled design resists vibration in industrial environments.
Suits industrial monitoring with glycerin damping
The glycerin fill dampens needle flutter caused by pump pulsation or machinery vibration. IP54 rating with the vent plug open and IP65 when closed protects the movement from dust and water jets. Buyers needing a dry gauge or a different pressure range should look at other models. The fixed 1/4 inch NPT thread limits direct compatibility with other connection types.
0 to 160 psi range with liquid-filled headroom
The 160 psi span covers common hydraulic and pneumatic system pressures while the glycerin fill extends service life under cyclic loading. Accuracy holds at 1.5 percent of full scale across the range. Systems exceeding 160 psi or requiring higher precision need a different instrument. The polycarbonate lens and stainless case withstand harsh ambient conditions.

Questions about this item
What size NPT fitting do I need on my system for the 1/4 in process connection on this Ashcroft 251009 gauge?
The gauge has a 1/4 in male NPT process connection at the bottom, so the mating port must be a 1/4 in female NPT thread.
Will the IP54 vented rating still protect the 304 stainless case if my older equipment leaks oil mist?
With the vent plug open the gauge meets IP54, resisting dust and splashing water; oil mist protection is not guaranteed at that setting.
How do I confirm the +/- 1.5 percent accuracy is holding after I install the gauge?
Apply a known reference pressure within the 0 to 160 range and compare the needle reading; it should stay within 1.5 percent of the true value.
