Capsule-type pressure gauges
Capsule pressure gauge - Precise pressure measurement for industrial applications
Capsule pressure gauges are reliable measuring tools for measuring the pressure of liquids and gases. In various industrial applications, they provide important information on whether mechanical work processes are running within the desired parameter range. In our online store, you will find a selection of high-quality and proven capsule pressure gauges that can be easily integrated into your existing systems.
Important features at a glance
- Capsule pressure gauge with up to tenfold overload for pressure measurements in the mbar range
- Models with radial connection at the bottom
- Models with axial rear connection (centric)
- Housing variants made of stainless steel, plastic or sheet steel
Functionality of capsule pressure gauges
The heart of a capsule pressure gauge is a metal capsule, often made of spring steel. The pressure exerted on this capsule causes it to deform. When the force decreases, the capsule expands again. These changes in pressure generate movements that are measured to determine the exact pressure.

Capsule pressure gauges use common pressure units, including:
- Bar: The classic unit for pressure, corresponding to the pressure of a ten-meter-high water column.
- Pascal (Pa): Describes pressure and mechanical stress; one Pascal corresponds to the pressure of 100 grams of sand on one square meter.
- PSI (Pound per Square Inch): The pressure exerted by a weight of one pound on one square inch.
The units bar and mbar are predominantly found in our range, as these are commonly used for measuring air pressure. The selected units are always clearly marked on the device.
Application areas for capsule pressure gauges
Capsule pressure gauges are ideal for measuring the pressure of liquids and gases, including compressed air. They are used in the automotive industry, aerospace, chemical production and energy supply.
Important: They are not suitable for measuring crystallizing or highly viscous media.
