High Precision and DurabilityThe gauge is constructed with a brass body and glass or acrylic lens for excellent durability and precise measurement. The Nickel/Brass coating ensures corrosion resistance, even in challenging environments. Its high-pressure leak proof sealing and working temperature range of -20C to +60C make it ideal for use across India, including in demanding field conditions.
Easy Installation and Versatile MountingDesigned for direct threaded or panel mounting, installation is straightforward, saving time and effort for dealers, service providers, and wholesalers. The 1/8 inch BSP connection enables compatibility with a wide range of fire extinguisher models. The mechanical connectivity type ensures reliable manual control and performance without the need for batteries or electrical connections.
Clear, Reliable Pressure IndicationThe analog display features a white dial with multicolor markings for at-a-glance status checking. The green zone signifies safe operating pressure, while the red zones alert users to low or high pressure conditions. This clear indication promotes prompt and effective servicing of extinguishers, enhancing safety in both commercial and residential settings.
FAQs of Fire Extinguisher Pressure Gauge:
Q: How do I install the fire extinguisher pressure gauge?
A: This gauge is designed for direct threaded or panel mounting using its 1/8 inch BSP connection. Simply screw the gauge onto the extinguishers designated port, ensuring a secure and leak-proof fit. Refer to your extinguishers specific manual for compatible mounting procedures.
Q: What do the green and red markings on the dial indicate?
A: The green zone on the dial shows the safe operating pressure range for fire extinguishers. The red zones indicate pressures that are either too low or too high, signaling that the extinguisher may require maintenance or refilling to ensure proper function.
Q: When should the pressure gauge be checked or replaced?
A: Pressure gauges should be inspected during routine fire extinguisher maintenance checks or at least once a year. Replace the gauge if it is damaged, fogged, or fails to return to zero when removed from pressure or if accuracy is compromised, despite its 2% F.S. rating.
Q: Where can this pressure gauge be used?
A: This gauge is suitable for use in powder, CO2, and foam fire extinguishers. It can be deployed in residential, commercial, industrial, and public spaces across India, wherever reliable fire extinguisher pressure monitoring is required.
Q: What benefits does the brass body with glass or acrylic cover provide?
A: The brass body offers strong corrosion resistance and durability, while the glass or acrylic lens ensures clear visibility and protects the inner dial. This robust construction ensures long-term, dependable operation even in harsh conditions.
Q: How does the Bourdon Tube Mechanism work in this gauge?
A: The Bourdon Tube Mechanism converts the pressure inside the extinguisher into mechanical movement, moving the aluminum pointer across the analog dial. This reliable technology provides accurate, real-time pressure readings without the need for electricity.
