Spec me a :- Pressure gauge (with tell tale)

[SB118]

Right folks, hopefully somebody will know where i can get my hands on a 180 bar pressure gauge with a tell tale needle so i know the maximum pressure reached. Going to be reading fluid pressures from 130 to 180 bar.

Cheers

Welding bottle gauge? Nitrogen is delivered at 2750psi and I'm pretty sure CO2 bottle gauges read that high. Not sure about that needle though...

130 bar is massive mate, are you sure ?

Divers shop I'd imagine.

I've got a 300 Bar guage of on my 232bar bottle that I top my Pre-charged Weihrauch HW100 from

I think they do the guages for liquid aswell.

Try a diving shop, we used to fill our Air tanks for our paintball guns in one. Or failing that maybe paintball equipment suppliers. The bulk fill was 3000 psi and a top up from the 3500psi tank.

I think he's going to need a hydraulic pressure guage. I've seen loads but not with a max pointer.

Plymouth dive centre?

I fill my air pistols with 300 bar which reminds me, my bottles need testing as they're five years old.

Yeah, i'm putting together an injector pop tester for when i change the shims on the injectors in my 406 (175 standard for diesel down to 140-145 for veg, better combustion).

There are dozens of "how to" guides to make one, but they all seem to use a standard "active" needle gauge and with the speed an injector fires at the needle will be moving too fast to get an accurate reading.

Diving guages don't have a tell tale.

That's only on the depth guage.
