The WIKA PGT21 is an intelliGAUGE pressure gauge with integrated electronic signal output. Its Bourdon tube measures pressure mechanically, while an electronic angle encoder detects pointer movement and converts it into a pressure-proportional output signal.
Key Features
- Dual function: Analog dial display plus electronic output.
- Non-contact sensing: Reduces wear and friction in the signal-detection mechanism.
- Durable construction: Stainless steel case with IP65 ingress protection.
- Multiple configurations: 50 mm or 63 mm nominal size, with optional case filling for improved resistance to shock and vibration.
- Output options: 4–20 mA or 0.5–4.5 V DC, depending on the selected version. WIKA
Suitable Applications
- Industrial machinery: Local pressure indication and remote monitoring.
- Technical and medical gas systems: Pressure monitoring where the selected configuration meets the application requirements.
- Renewable energy equipment: Pressure monitoring in relevant systems.
- Harsh industrial environments: Applications where a robust case and additional vibration resistance are beneficial.
Technical Highlights & Selection Considerations
When selecting a PGT21, check the pressure range, dial size, output signal, process connection and electrical requirements. The standard accuracy class is 2.5, with other options available. A 2 m electrical cable is standard; alternative cable lengths may be available. Confirm the exact configuration against the required operating conditions before ordering.

FAQ
Q1: Can the PGT21 display pressure without electrical power?
Yes. The mechanical dial indicates pressure independently; electrical power is required for the electronic output.
Q2: What output signals are available?
Depending on the version, the output is 4–20 mA or 0.5–4.5 V DC.
Q3: What is the maximum measuring range?
Standard scale ranges extend up to 0–400 bar (0–6,000 psi), depending on the selected model.
Q4: Can it connect to a PLC?
Yes, provided the PLC input is compatible with the selected output signal and electrical requirements.
Q5: What details should I provide when requesting a replacement?
Provide the complete model or part number, pressure range, dial size, process connection and required output signal.
