Default low water pressure gauge

The commonly available Monument-brand water pressure gauge (eg Screwfix
ref 82412 @gbp11.99) measures up to 11bar. What I'm trying to measure
is pressure after the pump on a gravity fed CH system which the
Monument only uncertainly indicates at around 0.5bar.

Is there a water pressure gauge which measures sub- 1bar pressures
reasonably accurately?

TIA

manometer? just get about 15ft of plastic clear tubing and string it up
vertically.

0.5 bar is about 16 ft of head.


Nick a boost gauge off a scarp turbocharged car?
