Vintage WIKA pressure gauge bar industrial measuring device

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This old WIKA brand pressure gauge is a pressure measuring instrument designed to display pressure in bar. The circular dial has a measurement range of 0 to 1 bar, with precise graduations every 0.2 bar. The central black needle is fixed on a visible axis, typical of industrial analog pressure gauges.

The perimeter of the dial is surrounded by a gold-colored frame, with a patina and traces of oxidation that reflect its age and use. The dial displays a white background, slightly yellowed by time, with clear black numbers. The "WIKA" brand is affixed in a cartouche at the bottom right of the dial, confirming the origin of the instrument.

On the lower part, a metal threaded connection is visible, intended for connection to a technical or industrial installation. The protective glass of the dial shows some signs of wear and a slight deformation (a visible bubble in the upper part), characteristic of prolonged use or old storage. No other inscription is legible on the visible area of the object.

This type of pressure gauge was commonly used in industrial installations, steam or gas networks, or in technical maintenance workshops. Its style, the typography of the dial, and the patina of the frame suggest manufacturing probably dating from the mid to late 20th century, typical of vintage industrial instruments.

The sober design, the robustness of the golden metallic frame, and the clear readability of the dial make it a classic example of old industrial equipment. This pressure gauge will be perfect for an industrial-themed decoration, a workshop reconstruction, or to complete a set of vintage technical objects.
