Glycerin Filled Pressure Gauge Types, Price, Available at Wholesalers, Traders

Glycerin filled pressure gauges are a popular choice across industrial and commercial applications where vibration, pulsation or aggressive service conditions can harm dry gauges. The glycerin damping reduces needle flutter, improves readability and extends the life of the mechanism. This guide explains the main types of glycerin filled pressure gauges, expected price ranges, where to source them from wholesalers and traders, and practical tips on selection and maintenance.

What is a Glycerin Filled Pressure Gauge?

A glycerin filled pressure gauge contains a liquid (typically glycerin or a glycerin-based mixture) inside the case. The lubricant dampens internal movement, stabilises the pointer under vibration/pulsation and lubricates the movement. These gauges are commonly used in compressors, hydraulic systems, refrigeration, water treatment and other process equipment where mechanical shock or pulsation is present.

Types of Glycerin Filled Pressure Gauges

1. Standard Analog Glycerin Filled Pressure Gauge

Classic Bourdon tube based analog gauge with a glycerin-filled case. Suitable for general industrial use, available in different dial sizes (40 mm, 63 mm, 100 mm, 150 mm) and pressure ranges (vacuum to high pressure depending on model).

2. Stainless Steel Case Glycerin Filled Gauge

Designed for corrosive environments and outdoor use. The stainless steel case plus glycerin fill protects internal parts and ensures longer life in aggressive or wet environments.

3. Bottom Connection & Back Connection Gauges

Connection orientation matters for panel mounting or direct pipe mounting. Bottom connection gauges mount directly to pipelines; back connection models are designed for panel installation.

4. Dual Scale/Compound Gauges

Gauges showing two scales (e.g., bar and psi) or compound gauges capable of indicating vacuum and pressure. Useful where operators require multiple units on the same instrument.

5. Safety Pattern / Filled with Safety Features

Safety pattern filled gauges include blow-out back and other safety measures to protect operators in case of internal failure—recommended where there is a risk of overpressure or brittle fluids.

6. Custom & Panel-Mount Glycerin Filled Gauges

Manufacturers like M/S Priti Industries can provide custom dials, mounting arrangements or special ranges to suit OEM needs or bulk orders for industrial panels.

Key Specifications to Check Before Buying

  • Dial Size: Compatibility with panel or mounting location (e.g., 63 mm, 100 mm).
  • Pressure Range: Select a gauge with an appropriate full-scale range — typically 75%–100% of expected maximum pressure is recommended for best accuracy.
  • Connection Size & Type: 1/4" NPT, 1/2" BSP, bottom or back entry.
  • Case Material: Brass (cost-effective), stainless steel (corrosion resistance), or carbon steel.
  • Accuracy Class: Typical industrial gauges are ±1.6% to ±2.5% of FSD; critical applications may require better accuracy.
  • Filling Fluid: Glycerin or glycerin-based mixtures; check temperature limits as glycerin viscosity changes with temperature.
  • Temperature Range: Ensure the glycerin and internal lubrication are rated for your operating temperature.
  • IP / Weather Rating: For outdoor use or washdown environments, choose higher protection ratings.

Price Guide — Typical Ranges (Indicative)

Prices vary by brand, material, accuracy and quantity. The figures below are indicative wholesale ranges to help budget planning (prices expressed as approximate ranges per unit):

  • Basic brass-case glycerin filled gauge (small dial, low pressure): Budget tier — expect economical pricing for bulk orders.
  • Stainless steel case glycerin filled gauge (medium duty): Mid tier — higher cost due to materials.
  • Safety-pattern and high-accuracy glycerin filled gauges: Premium tier — price increases for safety features and traceable calibration.

Note: For exact prices, contact wholesalers or M/S Priti Industries directly. Bulk orders substantially reduce unit cost — always request a formal quotation with lead time, packing and shipping costs included.
