Pressure & Vacuum

Murphy mechanical engine pressure and vacuum gauge instruments - click to enlargeOur heavy-duty mechanical Swichgage® products combine accurate indication of engine pressure or vacuum with adjustable output contacts for fault alarm and shutdown protection. The MurphyGage® range provides the same accurate indication without output contacts.

The products are available with 2, 2.5 and 4.5 inch (51, 64, and 114 mm) gauge diameters. 2 and 2.5 inch models typically feature:

  • Rugged industrial-rated diaphragm movements
  • Steel or polcarbonate case options
  • Polycarbonate lens
  • Bright or black stainless steel bezel options
  • environmentally sealed versions
  • one wire (ground return) or two wire (insulated return) contact options

4.5-inch dial versions include a Bourdon tube sensing element, cast aluminium case, plus adjustable high and low limit contacts or snap-acting switches.
