AFANTI 1.6MPa Air Compressor System Pressure Gauge | 0-16 Bar / 0-230 PSI | Black Steel Case | Brass BSP Thread

The go-to gauge for everyday compressed air systems. Whether you're monitoring a workshop compressor tank, checking a distribution line, or outfitting a pneumatic tool station — this 1.6 MPa model covers the most common operating range in the industry. Clear MPa scale, red danger zone, and a brass thread that seals tight the first time.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Detail
Dial Size	2.5" / 63mm
Pressure Range	0–1.6 MPa (0–16 bar / 0–230 PSI)
Accuracy Class	1.6
Connection	Brass BSP thread, bottom-mount
Case Material	Matte black painted steel
Dial Face	White with black MPa scale
Pointer	Black with counterweight
Lens	Tempered glass
Operating Temperature	-20°C to +60°C
Protection	IP54 (dust and splash resistant) Features 0.05 MPa resolution — graduations every 0.2 MPa with 4 subdivisions between each. Fine enough to catch slow pressure drift before it triggers a safety shutdown. Red danger zone (1.2–1.6 MPa) — the upper 25% of the scale is highlighted in red. One glance tells you whether pressure is safe or heading into the danger zone. No second look needed. Counterweighted pointer — the small fan-shaped counterweight at the pointer tail keeps readings stable under vibration. The pointer settles quickly and holds steady, even on compressor tanks with running pumps. Matte black steel case — durable powder-coated finish resists shop chemicals, oil, and everyday handling. The matte surface won't reflect overhead lights into your eyes. Brass BSP thread — clean-cut threads engage smoothly on standard compressor tank ports and manifold fittings. No cross-threading, no leaks. Tempered glass lens — protects the dial from shop debris, oil spray, and solvents. Stays clear for years, unlike plastic lenses that yellow and scratch. Typical Applications Workshop air compressor receiver tanks Tire shop and service station air lines Pneumatic tool supply regulators Spray gun and airbrush pressure monitoring Industrial compressed air distribution headers Small to medium boiler and steam systems Installation Notes Apply thread seal tape (3–4 wraps) or a sealing gasket before installation for a leak-free connection. Tighten using a wrench on the hex nut — never grip the gauge case, which can damage the internal movement. For direct pump outlet mounting, install a snubber or needle valve to absorb pressure pulsation and extend gauge life. Working pressure should stay within 1/3 to 3/4 of full scale (0.5–1.2 MPa) for best accuracy. The red zone is your warning — if you're reading there regularly, your system may need a higher-range gauge. Recalibration recommended every 12 months.
