MA-250M

Where the MA-250M is used

The MA-250M can be installed in units and systems of aircraft, helicopters, and ground aviation equipment. Its application depends on the specific system layout: pneumatic circuits, oxygen equipment, hydraulic servicing lines, test benches, and other pressure-control points may use gauges of this class. The instrument is not limited to one aircraft type. What matters is the pressure range, medium compatibility, connection arrangement, accuracy class, and the installation requirements of the particular system.

Pressure measurement with MA-250M

The gauge measures excess pressure up to its upper scale limit. The scale is arranged for practical reading in aircraft maintenance conditions, with digitized marks and intermediate divisions. This makes the MA-250M suitable for pressure checks where high laboratory precision is not required, but a reliable onboard or service indication is needed. Since it has an accuracy class of 4.0, it should be selected for control and monitoring tasks where that tolerance is acceptable according to the relevant maintenance or system documentation.

MA-250M connection and installation

The MA-250M is made with an axial rear connection and without a flange. This means the pressure connection is located at the back of the instrument rather than at the bottom or side. Before replacement, the installer should check the connection position, thread and available space behind the panel or unit. A mechanically similar gauge with a different connection style may not fit the installation correctly. The gauge should also be mounted without mechanical stress on the case or pressure fitting, since that can affect durability and reading stability.

Operating conditions of MA-250M

The MA-250M is designed for aviation operating conditions, including low and high ambient temperatures, vibration, and high humidity. These factors matter because the gauge may be used not only inside protected cabins, but also in technical compartments or ground aviation equipment exposed to harder service conditions. During inspection, attention should be paid to pointer return, glass condition, case damage, thread condition, scale readability, and absence of leakage. A gauge with a damaged case or unclear scale should not be treated as serviceable only because the pointer still moves.

Replacement and supply of MA-250M

The MA-250M may be used as a replacement for MV-250M instruments, including tropical versions, where permitted by documentation. For procurement, the exact designation MA-250M / МА-250М should be stated together with the required condition and documentation. It is also important to confirm the measurement limit, accuracy class, connection type, and compatibility with the measured medium. For aviation supply, the instrument is normally checked by passport, calibration status, storage condition, and suitability for installation in the required system.
