Bourdon Tube Pressure Gauge Model 213.53 from WIKA

Bourdon Tube Pressure Gauge Model 213.53 from WIKAWIKA's liquid-filled model 213.53 Bourdon tube pressure gauge is constructed with a case from stainless steel and wetted parts from copper alloy. This model meets the requirements of the international industry standard EN 837-1 for Bourdon tube pressure gauges.

Due to the liquid filling in the case, the pressure element and movement are efficiently damped. Therefore, these instruments are particularly suited to measuring points with high dynamic loads, such as fast load cycles or vibrations.

The cases of the model 213.53 are available in nominal sizes of 50, 63, and 100 mm and fulfil IP65 ingress protection. With an accuracy of up to class 1.0, this pressure gauge is suitable for a wide range of applications in industry.

For mounting in control panels, the pressure gauges with a back mount process connection can be fitted with a mounting flange or with a triangular bezel and mounting bracket.

Bourdon Tube Pressure Gauge Model 213.53 Q & A

+ What is the WIKA 213.53 gauge and what industries is it used in?
The WIKA Bourdon Tube Pressure Gauge Model 213.53 is a liquid-filled mechanical pressure gauge with a stainless steel case and copper-alloy wetted parts, built to meet EN 837-1 and ASME standards for industrial pressure measurement. It’s vibration and shock resistant thanks to glycerine or silicone filling, making it ideal for hydraulics, compressors, industrial machinery, and harsh service conditions with pulsating loads.
 
+ What pressure ranges and accuracy does this gauge offer?
The Model 213.53 gauge is available in ranges from vacuum/compound options to 15,000 psi (1,000 bar), depending on size and configuration. Typical accuracy class is ±2.5% of span (ASME B40.100 Grade A) on smaller sizes, with tighter accuracy available on larger dials, ensuring dependable readings for process control or safety applications.
+ What mounting and connection options are available?
The 213.53 series offers multiple nominal sizes (2″ / 2?″ / 4″) and pressure connection types, including lower mount (LM) or center-back mount (CBM), depending on installation requirements. Threaded fittings commonly include SAE or NPT adaptors, depending on range and customer needs. Panel mounting accessories like flanges and brackets are also available.
 
+ Is the gauge suitable for outdoor or harsh environments?
Yes — Model 213.53 gauges feature a stainless steel case with vent plug and IP-rated protection (IP65/NEMA 4X) and liquid fill to dampen vibration and shock, making them robust for industrial environments. While not fully submersible, they perform well outdoors and in mechanically demanding locations.  
 
 
+ What media can it measure, and are there limitations?
Designed for gaseous or liquid media that won’t crystallize or clog the pressure system, this gauge performs well with air, water, oil, and most industrial fluids. It’s not intended for highly viscous, corrosive, or slurry-type fluids without proper isolation. The liquid fill also helps stabilize readings in vibrating applications.
