Pressure Measurement Appraisal

Weksler Pressure Gauge Unit

This item appears to be a pressure testing device or a component of a pressure regulation system, housed within a robust, rectangular blue metal casing. The primary feature is a circular pressure gauge, approximately 3-4 inches in diameter, centered on the left side of the blue housing. The gauge has a white face with black numerical markings and a black needle, indicating measurements in 'bar' and '100 x kPa'. The scale ranges from 0 to 40 psi (pounds per square inch) and 0 to approximately 2.8 bar / 280 kPa. The manufacturer's name, "WEKSLER", is clearly visible at the bottom of the gauge's face. To the right of the gauge, there is a prominent silver-colored, spoked or gear-like knob with an open center, possibly for connection to a hose or for adjusting pressure. This knob shows some signs of wear and minor scratching, suggesting regular use. Below this knob, a small black screw or plug is visible. On the far right, a narrow, black handle or attachment mechanism extends from the side of the blue unit. The blue casing itself appears to be made of painted metal, exhibiting a few scuffs and marks consistent with general use in an industrial or workshop environment, but no significant damage or deformities are apparent. The overall construction suggests durability and precision, typical of equipment designed for reliable measurement and control. The concrete or stone floor beneath the item is not part of the item itself but provides context for its setting.
