With a solid forged-brass case and socket, WIKA's Bourdon tube brass gauge is designed for the most adverse conditions, including high vibration.
In fact, this brass gauge (model 213.40) is also known as WIKA's "hydraulic gauge." It is commonly used in mobile and stationary machinery hydraulic applications because of its ability to withstand extreme vibration, shock and pulsation.

Operating temperature
Ambient: -4°F to +140°F (-20°C to +60°C) -
glycerine filled
-40°F to +140°F (-40°C to +60°C) -
silicone filled
Medium: max. +140°F (+60°C)
Temperature error
Additional error when temperature changes from reference temperature of 68°F (20°C) ±0.4% of span for every 18°F (10°K) rising or falling.
Weather protection
Weather tight (NEMA 4X / IP 66)
Brass gauge applications are expanding with the increasing introduction of portable equipment, such as compressors, pumps and hydraulic tools.
Brass gauges are also widely used in upstream oil applications with pressure ranges up to 15,000 psi. In the Texas oil patch, WIKA's brass gauges with glycerin fill are the standard.
