About The Product
What Is a WIKA Bourdon Tube Pressure Gauge?
A Bourdon tube pressure gauge is a mechanical instrument that measures fluid or gas pressure using a curved, hollow metallic tube. When pressure is applied inside the tube, it straightens proportionally — this movement is converted by a mechanical linkage into a readable dial indication.
WIKA, founded in 1946 and headquartered in Germany, is the global market leader in pressure, temperature, and level measurement instrumentation. The WIKA Models 232.50 and 233.50 are their flagship all-stainless-steel Bourdon tube gauges, manufactured to strict EN 837-1 (European) and ASME B40.100 (American) standards, ensuring international quality compliance for every industrial application.
These gauges are widely used across India in refineries, chemical plants, power stations, pharmaceutical facilities, and water infrastructure projects — wherever accurate, durable, and maintenance-free pressure measurement is essential.
Working Principle: Bourdon tube deformation under pressure → mechanical rotation → dial reading

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about WIKA Bourdon tube pressure gauges and how to buy them from Zebco Engineering in India.
A WIKA Bourdon tube pressure gauge is a mechanical pressure measuring instrument that works by the deflection of a curved (Bourdon) tube under applied pressure. As pressure increases inside the tube, it tends to straighten — this motion is transmitted via a gear-and-lever mechanism to rotate a pointer over a calibrated dial. WIKA models 232.50 and 233.50 are all-stainless-steel versions certified to EN 837-1 (European) and ASME B40.100 (American) international standards, measuring pressures from vacuum up to 1600 bar.
The WIKA 232.50 is a dry-case gauge ideal for stable, low-vibration process conditions. The 233.50 is a liquid-filled version (glycerine or silicone oil) designed for vibrating machinery, pumps, and compressors where needle oscillation must be damped. Both share identical accuracy, pressure ranges, and material construction.
These gauges are available from vacuum (–1 to 0 bar) through compound ranges up to 0–1600 bar (23,200 psi). Common ranges include 0–10, 0–16, 0–25, 0–40, 0–60, 0–100, 0–160, 0–250, 0–400, and 0–600 bar. Custom dual-scale (bar/psi) dials are also available.
Yes. Models with SS 316L wetted parts and Monel Bourdon tubes are available for aggressive media. NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 compliant versions are offered for sour gas (H₂S) environments common in oil & gas applications.
WIKA 232.50 and 233.50 are available in three nominal sizes: Ø 63 mm (2½"), Ø 100 mm (4"), and Ø 160 mm (6"). The 63 mm size uses a polycarbonate window; 100 mm and 160 mm use laminated safety glass.
Yes. Zebco Engineering LLP is an authorized WIKA distributor supplying to all major Indian industrial cities and states, plus international export to the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Africa, and beyond. We offer both standard ex-stock delivery and project-specific procurement.
