warbird861 0 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I'll take a guess: Gauge for general use where the pressure medium is non-corrosive to brass, phosphor bronze, or beryllium copper. Air, oil, gas and water services are the most common applications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WEA-JHD 1 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I'll take a wild guess and say Manifold pressure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warbird861 0 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Oil pressure?I'll take a wild guess and say Manifold pressure As I have insider information I have to say it's neither or it's an unmarked secondary gauge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macroth72 38 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Hey, someone else used google OK, you got me I just wanted to add the link, because the picture there looks almost the same as the old one from Mathijs. It would be interresting where Mathijs got this from...Maybe the next cool thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManuelL 71 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I was hoping to find it in the PBY flight engineer panel. But the gauges all look different. Oil pressure would be my best guess (but without label? - would be strange) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HBukovac 0 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I believe it is something like a gauge for oil pressure or fuel pressure. I am just surprised that it has no label on it. I am missing psi or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James A 39 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 A wild guess and I'll go for a fuel quantity gauge, possibly single or one of a pair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James A 39 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 A fuel quantity gauge would have 1, 1/2, and 0 for the readings instead of the other way around, and it would also be on it side.As I said, a wild guess. Pray tell, what makes you think that all fuel gauges read 1 1/2 and 0 and not Empty 1/2 and Full. Another thought to ponder on is - Is it in the cockpit or on the tank?Food for thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cris B. 120 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 My guess is a pressure gauge (possibly hydraulic) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron.Eagle 0 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 hmm, judjing by the scale, it cannot be a pressure gauge (air pressure is around 30 PSI or 1000mbar) - if it were in PSI: five atmospheres of pressure? unrealistic...i think it's a temperature gauge (in °C). probably coolant or maybe even oil, but oil temperature should get even higher. standard water coolant temperature is between 60°C and 120°C with cars....or it's a fuel tank quantity gauge (in litres)just my guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will keep you informed!I completely misread this post - I thought it was a quiz and you already new what it was.I found many sanitary pressure gauges with a range of 0-160 PSI, many of these seem to be multi purpose and can be used for air, oil, water and steam.However, it is very unusial to have now label on the gauge.
