O.K. I was going thru my console parts and came accross this gauge ,

I has a scale that goes from 0 to 5 , above that it says kgf/cm /

It's a 2 inch gauge probably for a 911 , right ????

I can't recall a gauge in a 911 that was only 2". A console gauge from a 924? Early Audi?

First thought is boost gauge, but that measurement is somewhat similar to PSI... maybe intake vaccuum?

kgf/cm sounds like a pressure gauge, right? something close to "kilograms of force per square centimeter" maybe?

well the unit is kilograms of force per centimeter. There are torque, suction, pressure, and other gauges that measure with those units, but I really can't tell without a pic what yours is for. Maybe it's for fuel or oil pressure? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Uhhhhh...no.

Pressure would be kgf/cm2 (force per unit area)

i love starting these conversations - nice to see the collective knowledge slowly refine the definitions and the conversation become more specific.

Oh yeah my bad! I forgot that the unit wasn't squared.

Kgf/cm measures torque. like lbs/ft. You sure that that "cm" isn't squared Dave?

Not sure how a gauge like that could measure torque...

Doing some digging. Kgf/cm is roughly 1 bar or 14 psi.

Oil Pressure ?

Uhhhh...no.

Torque is force x length. It's not lbs per foot (lbs/ft). It's ft-lbs, where the hyphen means multiply.

Yeah I know , I'm not contributing to helping the gauge question. I just can't stand to see units of measurement get massacred. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Does yours have a part number on the back?

Here's one on eBay listed as a 924 gauge.

Pressure gauge. 0-5 kgf/cm2 = 0-70 psi
