PT40-15psig-1-1-8-16-ST8

Pressure Sensors Transducers Overview

The NOSHOK PT40-15psig-1-1-8-16-ST8 is a bourdon tube pressure gauge designed for general industrial applications. It features a 1-1/2 inch dial diameter with a 0 to 15 psig measurement range. The unit utilizes a 316 stainless steel wetted materials construction, including the sensor element and process connection. The process connection is specified as 1/8 inch NPT located at the rear (back mount) position. The instrument is supplied in a standard non-stamped configuration without specific calibration documentation.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Feature Summary

• Constructed with 316 stainless steel wetted components for corrosion resistance
• Features a compact 1-1/2 inch dial size suitable for tight spaces
• Utilizes a bourdon tube sensing mechanism for reliable pressure indication
• Designed with a rear-mounted 1/8 inch NPT process connection

Pressure Sensors Transducers Applications

• General industrial fluid monitoring
• Compressed air system verification
• Hydraulic equipment pressure checks
• HVAC system diagnostics

Pressure Sensors Transducers Procurement Notes

Verify that the required process connection thread matches the 1/8 inch NPT specification provided in the model number. Confirm that the 1-1/2 inch dial size meets the visibility requirements of the installation environment. Ensure the 316 stainless steel material compatibility aligns with the specific media being measured to prevent chemical degradation or failure.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Selection Notes

Select this model when a low-cost, general-purpose indicator is sufficient for static pressure monitoring. The 15 psig range is appropriate for low-pressure pneumatic systems. Consider alternative models if higher accuracy classes, digital output capabilities, or larger dial sizes are required for remote monitoring or critical safety applications.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Part Context

This component belongs to the NOSHOK standard bourdon tube gauge series. These instruments are engineered for basic pressure visualization in non-critical industrial settings. The product line emphasizes durability and cost-effectiveness for widespread deployment across various manufacturing and processing sectors where precise data logging is not mandatory.

Pressure Sensors Transducers Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must maintain the 1/8 inch NPT rear connection and 1-1/2 inch dial dimensions. Verify that substitute gauges offer equivalent 316 stainless steel wetted parts to ensure similar chemical compatibility. Check that the replacement unit supports the same 0-15 psig range and operates within the ambient temperature limits of the original application.
