It's hard to read and in my case seems to be off by a good 100-150 psi from my SCBA liquid filled fill adapter gauge. Is it just me or does anyone else feel the need for a better gauge? Has anyone seen a better 1" micro gauge that offers more sweep/better resolution? I've come across many 1.5" gauges but that would require cutting the stock which I'm not up for just yet. Thanks.

At least they are better than the idiotic 6000 psi 1" gauges with about 90 degrees of travel you find on most HPA tanks....

Bob Hey Rsterne, Your right, it definately doesn't have to be bigger just one with a larger dial arc with 100 psi increments. Well, after searching the internet for awhile I have found two possible canidates. #1) This is a 1" compact gauge that should drop right in, just haven't checked the overall height of the OEM unit yet. I think it has a 180^ dial arc with 100psi increments, need to check with the manufacturer to double check. Has an accuracy rating of grade B (+/- 3-2-3%). http://dwyerinstruments.dirxion.com/WebProject.asp?CodeId=7.1.2.1# #2) This is a 1-1/4" gauge that would require a little clearancing. It has a 165^ dial arc with 100psi increments. This gauge has an accuracy of +/- 2% at setpoint. http://www.ashcroft.com/products/pressure_gauges/commercial/Type-12DDG-15DDG-Gauges.cfm# The search continues.   Posted: Sun Jan 10, 2010 6:03 pm rsterne Moderator Joined: 15 Jan 2008 Posts: 2998 Location: Coalmont, BC Link to 1" gauge doesn't work for me....

And just to throw it in- I HATE companies that think putting a copy of their print catalog online makes for a decent website- some people really need to get a handle on "searching" and proper web content. _________________ ` I'd say "I care."

Bob Ok, well try this: http://www.dwyer-inst.com/Products/Product.cfm?Group_ID=118. Or page 88 of the online catalog, looks like they've changed the part# for 2010.   Posted: Sun Jan 10, 2010 7:50 pm supercharged86 Member Joined: 26 Oct 2009 Posts: 77 Location: Rhode Island supercharged86 wrote: rsterne wrote: Link to 1" gauge doesn't work for me....

Well that doesn't work either, WTF this place. You'll have to look up the series SGC yourself once you get to home page, http://www.dwyer-inst.com/   Posted: Sun Jan 10, 2010 8:55 pm AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6930 Location: "Out There" I found the correct gauges- but the page bogged the browser down. That website really does suck- and I wrote them some feedback to let them know it is, without a doubt, the worst "online" catalog I have come across in years. _________________ ` I'd say "I care."

I could not find the increments listed for the various pressure ranges.... Bob _________________ Dominion Marksman Silver Shield - 5890 x 6000 in 1976, and downhill ever since!

The 1-1/4 is the diameter of the dial, not the overall diameter. The only legitimate 1" gauge that I have found was made by Wika, but it appears to be a special order thing for somebody because I cannot find any refernce to it in the Wika catalogs. I have not called them, but I think I will I sent an email to a company in the UK that specializes in 23mm gauges and asked if they would give me a qoute on a run of special order gauges with a 240 degree sweep. They replied that they couldn't make one with more than 105 degree sweep, BUT they could put my company logo on it It never ceases to amaze me how the simplist things become the quest for the Grail.

Generally, dealing with a chinese manufacturer means a minimum order of 1000 units. You could probably get them for $1.50 each though with your logo on the face.   Posted: Mon Jan 11, 2010 9:28 am supercharged86 Member Joined: 26 Oct 2009 Posts: 77 Location: Rhode Island Teryx wrote: I also found this: http://www.pressuregauges.com.cn/minigauge.htm If you look at the materials used, these appear to be good quality, but who knows?

Did you see the accuracy rating? +/- 8/5/8 %   Posted: Mon Jan 11, 2010 2:02 pm supercharged86 Member Joined: 26 Oct 2009 Posts: 77 Location: Rhode Island Ok, so I contacted the technical support department at Dwyer Instruments and the details on the SGC-15 compact pressure gauge are that the dial has a 165^ arc with 200 psi increments. Likewise, the gauge has a SS case which is used to tighten down the threads (no flats on the stem, which is good because the OEM one sits nearly flush on the extension adapter). I was unable to locate any local distributors that carry this gauge however, Dwyer sells direct. So far this looks like the only option without modifying the stock.
