ZX-12 uses a 40 mm dial (standard gauges are 63–160 mm) with a G1/8 connection thread. The entire gauge weighs approximately 35 g and stands only 52 mm tall. It is designed for space-constrained OEM and panel applications where a standard gauge would be physically too large.
Standard ranges: 0–1 bar, 0–2.5 bar, 0–4 bar, 0–6 bar, 0–10 bar, 0–16 bar, 0–25 bar. Vacuum range −1 to 0 bar also available. Custom ranges on request.
Class 2.5 (±2.5% FS) standard for the 40 mm dial. Class 1.6 is available in the 50 mm version. For precision requirements below Class 1.6, a diaphragm or digital gauge is more appropriate at this size.
Yes for pressures up to 25 bar with mineral hydraulic oil. The SS Bourdon tube and brass socket are compatible with standard HLP/HM grade hydraulic fluids. Not suitable for water-glycol hydraulic fluids (these attack brass).
G1/8B male (1/8" BSP parallel) is standard — this is the most common thread for miniature pneumatic manifolds. G1/4B and NPT 1/8" are available options. Confirm thread form before ordering.
For incidental food contact, specify the 316L SS Bourdon tube and socket. For direct food contact (process media), the diaphragm gauge ZX-05 with a sanitary flush connection is more appropriate than a miniature Bourdon tube gauge.
The 40 mm dial has 270° sweep with major divisions at every 20% FS and minor divisions at 5% FS. At Class 2.5, the resolution of a 0–10 bar scale is approximately 0.5 bar per graduation. For finer reading, specify the 50 mm dial at Class 1.6.
Yes. Per EN 837-1, ZX-12 has a solid front with a rear pressure-relief vent. If the Bourdon tube fails (rare), pressure is directed backwards and away from the operator.
Not in the standard 40 mm ABS case — the case sealing is not rated for liquid fill. If vibration damping is required at miniature scale, pair ZX-12 with a G1/8 piston snubber upstream of the gauge connection.
In clean, non-pulsating service: typically 3–5 years. At steady moderate pressures (25–75% FS) in dry pneumatic service, field life can exceed 5 years. In pulsating service, add a snubber — repeated pointer oscillation is the primary life-limiter for small-dial gauges.
