CE Certified High-Precision Pressure Gauges, Capillary Thermometers, & Transducers
Comprehensive Engineering Benchmark for Mechanical Reliability, Pressure Fatigue Life, and Material Standards
In mechanical pressure instrumentation, the structural integrity of the wetted parts determines the operational longevity and measurement repeatability of the gauge. As an established OEM manufacturer, Huzhou Accuracy Instrument Co., Ltd. utilizes high-grade extruded brass alloys—specifically CuZn39Pb3 (CW614N) and HPb59-1—engineered for high yield strength, minimal stress corrosion cracking, and superior machinability.
The internal elastic sensing element (the Bourdon tube) is fabricated using specialized phosphor bronze (C5191) or seamless brass alloys with precise cold-drawing processes. This yields uniform wall thickness tolerances within ±0.005mm, ensuring a perfectly linear deflection curve across the working pressure range.
The mechanical core of our customizable pressure gauges utilizes two distinct elastic element configurations based on range demands:

|---|---|---|---|
| Accuracy Class (EN 837-1) | Class 2.5 (±2.5% Span) | Class 1.6 (±1.6% Span) | Class 1.0 (±1.0% Span Options) |
| Pressure Ranges | -1 to 0 ... 0 to 400 bar | -1 to 0 ... 0 to 600 bar | 0 to 1000 bar / Vacuum & Compound |
| Wetted Material | Standard HPb59-1 Brass | CuZn39Pb3 Low-Lead Brass | Phosphor Bronze Tube + Heavy Duty Brass Socket |
| Housing Materials | Black Painted Steel / ABS | AISI 304 Stainless Steel | Forged Brass / AISI 316 Housing |
| Internal Damping Liquid | Dry (Field Fillable) | Glycerin (99.5% Purity) | High-Viscosity Silicone Oil (-40°C to +100°C) |
| Ingress Protection | IP44 / IP54 | IP65 (NEMA 4X equivalent) | IP67 Hermetically Sealed |

Adhering to European Pressure Equipment Directives (PED) and International Quality Benchmarks
Our complete range of customizable brass pressure gauges carries the official CE marking, complying fully with the essential safety requirements of the European Pressure Equipment Directive (PED 2014/68/EU). Designed for fluid group 1 and 2 service.
Quality control operates under certified ISO 9001:2008 guidelines. Our testing laboratories utilize deadweight testers calibrated according to ISO 17025 standards, performing 100% calibration checks across 5 pressure points (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% scale).
Every instrument undergoes helium leak detection or automated pneumatic pressure hold testing to ensure zero-leak seals. Environmental chamber testing guarantees performance under thermal shocks ranging from -40°C to +70°C.
Bridging Mechanical Reliability with IoT Connectivity and Smart Industrial Automation
As industrial processes transition towards Industry 4.0 automated monitoring, Huzhou Accuracy Instrument is integrating high-precision glass microfused pressure sensors with traditional mechanical Bourdon tubes. These dual-output hybrid gauges provide local visual readings alongside 4-20mA, 0-10V, or Modbus RTU digital outputs for remote PLC and SCADA integration.
In anticipation of stricter global environmental standards (such as REACH, RoHS, and NSF/ANSI 61 drinking water standard updates), our metallurgy team is pioneering lead-free brass formulations containing less than 0.1% lead content while maintaining superior tensile strength and fatigue resistance.
Developing battery-powered smart pressure gauge platforms incorporating ultra-low-power LoRaWAN and NB-IoT telemetry modules. This enables predictive maintenance monitoring in remote oil wells, gas distribution pipelines, and HVAC installations without external wiring infrastructure.

Expert Engineering Insights on Pressure Gauge Selection, OEM Customization, & CE Standards
Every shipment of our CE-marked pressure gauges is accompanied by an official Certificate of Conformance (Declaration of Conformity according to PED 2014/68/EU). Additionally, we provide factory calibration inspection reports (referencing EN 837-1 standards), material trace-ability certificates for brass wetted parts, and detailed dimensional drawings for custom OEM orders upon request.
Brass pressure gauges offer an optimal balance of superior thermal conductivity, mechanical resilience, and cost efficiency for non-corrosive media applications such as air, water, standard hydraulic oils, and HVAC refrigerants. Brass sockets and Bourdon tubes allow for high-precision machining and silver-brazed joints that resist severe mechanical stress, providing significant cost savings compared to all-stainless-steel models where aggressive chemical resistance is not required.
Liquid filling is strongly recommended for environments subjected to high equipment vibration, mechanical shock, or rapid fluid pulsation (such as hydraulic pump outlets or compressor lines). Glycerin fluid dampens internal pointer flutter, lubricates the internal brass gear movement to prevent premature tooth wear, and seals the internal dial case against ambient moisture condensation and corrosive atmospheric contaminants.
Our automated CNC turning machinery can manufacture virtually any international standard connection thread. Standard offerings include NPT (1/8″, 1/4″, 1/2″), BSPP/G (G1/8″, G1/4″, G1/2″), BSPT/R, and Metric threads (M10x1, M14x1.5, M20x1.5). We also manufacture custom thread adapters, right-angle connections, and center back / lower back panel-mount configurations.
Calibration stability is achieved through a multi-step thermal stress-relief process applied to all Bourdon tubes prior to assembly. After soldering, the elastic elements are subjected to thousands of pressure cycle fatigue workouts to eliminate residual material stress. Finally, 100% of finished gauges undergo automated digital calibration against master reference transducers with zero-drift guarantee and ±0.5% to ±1.6% accuracy compliance.
We maintain flexible manufacturing lines to support both global original equipment manufacturers and growing regional distributors. Standard customized dial artwork (incorporating customer logo, custom color-coded pressure zones, and brand part numbers) typically starts at low MOQs of 500 units, with rapid artwork proofing within 48 hours.
