4" 100mm Air Receiver Tank Pressure Gauge | 0-1.6MPa with Green Zone Indicator
Safety-First Air Tank Pressure Monitoring
Our 4-inch (100mm) Air Receiver Tank Pressure Gauge is specifically designed for compressed air systems, featuring intuitive color-coded safety zones for instant status assessment. With a 0-1.6MPa range and dry black steel case, this specialized air tank pressure gauge provides clear visual warning of system conditions. The 3/8" NPT lower mount ensures easy installation on compressor receivers, making it an essential safety component for any compressed air system.
Key Features & Benefits
- Instant Safety Assessment: The color-coded dial with green, white, and red zones allows operators to immediately identify safe operating conditions, potential leaks, or dangerous overpressure situations at a single glance.
- Optimized for Air Receivers: Specifically configured as an air receiver tank pressure gauge, it provides the range and readability needed for compressor system monitoring.
- Durable Dry Construction: The dry black steel case requires no maintenance and performs reliably across a wide temperature range without fluid leakage concerns.
- Standard Industrial Mounting: The 3/8" NPT lower mount ensures compatibility with most compressor receiver tanks and industrial fittings.
- Clear Zone Definitions:
- Green Zone (0.4-1.6MPa): Ideal operating range for stored pressure
- White Low Zone (0-0.4MPa): Check for leaks or incomplete pressurization
- Red Zone (DANGER): Immediately relieve pressure and investigate cause

Why Every Air Receiver Needs a Properly Zoned Gauge
An air receiver tank pressure gauge is more than just a measuring instrument--it's a critical safety device:
- Leak Detection: Pointer consistently in white zone indicates system cannot maintain pressure
- Overpressure Prevention: Red zone warning prevents dangerous vessel over-pressurization
- Operational Efficiency: Green zone confirms system is operating within design parameters
- Maintenance Scheduling: Pressure trends help predict maintenance needs
Typical Applications
- Air Compressor Receivers: Primary pressure monitoring on compressor tanks
- Industrial Air Systems: Main header pressure indication
- Pneumatic Control Systems: Supply pressure verification
- Garage & Workshop Compressors: Safety monitoring for service equipment
- Manufacturing Facilities: Plant air system pressure status
Installation Safety Notes
- Always install with an isolation valve between tank and gauge for safe removal
- Use thread sealant appropriate for compressed air service
- Position gauge for easy visibility during normal operations
- Verify pressure range matches your system's maximum operating pressure
