WWWBG-2400-b - 2-Inch Acetylene Cylinder Pressure Gauge, 0-400 PSI Inlet

Precision Monitoring for Acetylene Systems

In the realm of industrial gas management, accuracy and safety are paramount. The 2-Inch Acetylene Pressure Gauge (0-400 PSI) is engineered to provide reliable monitoring of cylinder contents for professional welding and cutting setups. Designed specifically for the unique properties of acetylene gas, this gauge features internal materials compatible with the gas to prevent corrosion and ensure long-term stability. The 0-400 PSI scale is perfectly calibrated for acetylene cylinders, which typically hold pressure around 250 PSI at full capacity, giving the operator a clear and immediate visual indication of the remaining gas supply without the clutter of unnecessary high-pressure markings found on universal gauges.

The gauge features a standard 2-inch dial face, which strikes the perfect balance between compactness for regulator mounting and readability for the operator. The high-contrast numerals and needle allow for quick checks from a distance, ensuring that workflow is not interrupted by the need to squint at small dials. The connection is a standard 1/4-inch NPT bottom mount, the industry standard for the majority of industrial gas regulators, making this an essential component for maintenance and assembly of gas control equipment.

Safety and Compliance

Using the correct gauge for the specific gas service is a critical safety rule in welding. This gauge is explicitly marked for Acetylene use, ensuring that it is not accidentally installed on high-pressure oxygen systems where oil or incompatibility could pose severe risks. The robust case design protects the sensitive internal mechanism from the inevitable bumps and knocks of the industrial environment, while the clear lens ensures the face remains legible even after prolonged use in dusty shop conditions. Whether you are outfitting a new manifold system or maintaining a fleet of portable oxy-fuel outfits, this gauge delivers the precision required for safe operation.

Technical Reliability

The internal bourdon tube mechanism is crafted to withstand the pressure fluctuations inherent in opening and closing cylinder valves. By providing a steady reading of the inlet pressure, this gauge helps operators plan their gas usage effectively, reducing waste and preventing the dangerous practice of drawing acetylene down below recommended residual pressures. It is an indispensable tool for any facility prioritizing safety and efficiency in their oxy-fuel operations.
