Scary gauge

[joshua43214]

There is little Italian resturaunt near my house, I stoped in to get carry out and found this thing bolted to the wall. An old timer at the bar thought it had something to do with the space program, but all the other gauges where nautical in nature. I have no idea what this was originaly attatched to, but I am sure glad I never had to stand over it.

The gauge measures in lb/square inch. This is force per unit area, which is pressure. So its a pressure gauge of some sort. Just my $.02

"presure" is a bit of an understatement lol

maybe some sort of boiler or nuclear project...go back and talk with the owner, those be some lots of pressures there

Can be anything - maybe a steam train or something like that who knows.

I wonder if it will move the gauge if it sees 9 psi...

That is the homepage of the maker. It says they deliver their gauges to the German Army, Airforce, Airspace industry etc.
Just to give you an idea for what their (Budenberg) products are made for.
