ASHCROFT 4 1/2″ 45-1279-SS-02L-301MV 60PSI Duragauge Pressure Gauge

The Ashcroft 45-1279-SS-02L-301MV is a Duragauge Pressure Gauge with the following key features:
Key Specifications:
Size: 4 1/2″ dial, a larger diameter for easier reading of pressure measurements, commonly used in industrial settings.
Pressure Range: This gauge is rated for a 60 PSI range, suitable for low- to medium-pressure applications.
Construction: The “SS” in the part number indicates that it is made from stainless steel, making it highly durable and resistant to corrosion, ideal for harsh environments.
Accuracy: The Duragauge series is known for its high accuracy, typically around 1% of full scale (FS).
Movement: It uses a mechanical movement to drive the pointer and measure pressure.
Connection: Likely has a 1/4″ NPT threaded connection (standard for many pressure gauges), which is common for installation into piping or other pressure systems.
Features:
Durability: The Duragauge series is designed to withstand rugged industrial environments.
Dial Markings: The gauge is usually marked with clear, easy-to-read increments for pressure measurements. It likely includes graduations that help in precise monitoring.
Seal Options: It might come with options for additional seals to protect against moisture or dust ingress, enhancing its reliability in challenging conditions.
Applications:
Commonly used in process control, HVAC systems, oil and gas, and water systems, where accurate monitoring of system pressure is essential.
It could also be used in pneumatic, hydraulic, or chemical processing applications.
Additional Details:
Movement Type: The “301MV” part of the model number indicates it may have a machined brass movement with mercaptan oil (MV) for damping, ensuring smoother operation and reducing wear.
Bourdon Tube: Ashcroft gauges like this often use a Bourdon tube mechanism to convert pressure into mechanical motion, driving the pointer on the dial.
