Acetylene pressure gauge

[MRR]

I've got a fridge compressor from a friend so I went to a hardware store and bought a new pressure gauge that can display 40 bar. At home I realized that it is made for acetylene.

My question is, does it make a difference to a pressure gauge for compressed air or should I take it back to the store?

yeah i used the same gauge untill i wanted more pressure,
normaly a pressure gauge works for almost any gas and liquid

Very nice
The gauge that I have cost 8.50€.

I went back to the store to see what the other gauges cost....

:pukeright: 45€ (25 bar) :pukeleft:

heh that's exactly the reason why I bought an acetylene gauge not a regular one...
IIRC I mentioned it a couple of times here

the conclusion is -> pneumatic stuff is overpriced!!

sad but true...
