GAUGE ADAPTOR
GAUGE ADAPTOR
A Gauge Adaptor is a mechanical fitting used to connect pressure gauges or other measuring instruments to piping systems, valves, or manifolds. It acts as an intermediary component that enables proper alignment, orientation, or transition between different thread types, sizes, or connection angles. Gauge adaptors are commonly used in industrial instrumentation setups to ensure safe, leak-free connections while providing flexibility in gauge positioning and access. These adaptors are essential in process control systems, hydraulic circuits, pneumatic setups, and steam applications, where pressure gauges must be mounted securely and precisely for accurate readings.
- Thread types: Available in NPT, BSP, BSPT, or metric threads (male x female, male x male, etc.).
- Connection configurations: Straight, 90-degree, or tee-style for varied installation needs.
- Sizes: Typically range from 1/8″ to 1/2″, but custom sizes are also available.
- Material options: Brass, stainless steel (SS304, SS316), carbon steel, or special alloys.
- Compact and pressure-rated: Designed for high-pressure applications with reliable sealing.
- Optional swivel or hex designs: For ease of alignment during installation.
- Enables correct alignment and mounting of gauges in tight or angled spaces.
- Simplifies gauge installation without modifying the main process line.
- Provides flexibility to transition between different thread standards or sizes.
- Ensures leak-proof connection in high-pressure environments.
- Reduces stress on the gauge body by allowing precise positioning.
- Supports safe and efficient system maintenance and upgrades.
