Note: Other than discoloration of the dial and hardening of the

gasketing that may occur as ambient or process temperatures
exceeds 150F, non-liquid-filled gauges with standard glass windows, can withstand continuous operating temperatures up to
250F (121C). Liquid-filled gauges can withstand 200F (93C)
but glycerin fill and acrylic window will tend to yellow. Accuracy
at temperatures above or below the reference ambient temperature of 68F (20C) will be affected by approximately .4% per
25F. Gauges with welded joints will withstand 750F (450F
(232C) with silver brazed joints) for short times without rupture, although other parts of the gauge will be destroyed and
calibration will be lost. For continuous use and for process or
ambient temperatures above 250F (121C), a diaphragm seal
or capillary or siphon is recommended.

ASME B40.100 recommends that normal operating pressure be confined to 25%-75% of the
scale. If pulsation is present in the process, maximum operating gauge pressure should not exceed
50% of the full-scale range.
CONCLUSION
To properly select a pressure gauge, consider the gauge process, range, environment, accuracy, dial
size, connection and mounting requirements.

7. PRESSURE RANGES

Consider the following mounting options when selecting a pressure gauge:

Stem mount lower connect
Wall/surface mount lower connect
Panel mount back connect
U-clamp flush mount back connect, for panel mounting
Front flange flush mount back connect, for panel mounting

6. CONNECTION LOCATION

Gauges are available with a variety of connections including NPT, DIN, JIS, BSP & SAE. Process
pressure gauges with 412 dial sizes or larger are most often supplied with a 12 NPT connection to
best support the gauge. Factors to consider when selecting a pressure gauge connection include
process pressures, gauge size and weight, space limitations, leak integrity, and past experience.

5. CONNECTION SIZE

The wetted parts of the pressure gauge, the Bourdon tube and socket must be compatible with the
process media. If not compatible with the wetted parts of the gauge, corrosion will occur. Corrosion
of gauge wetted parts will eventually cause gauge failure and possibly safety issues. When the gauge
wetted parts are not compatible with the process media, a diaphragm should be considered.

4. MEDIA / WETTED PARTS

Environmental considerations include ambient temperature, air-borne particulate, condensation,

humidity, water and chemicals, all of which can affect gauge performance.
Ambient temperature may affect the accuracy and integrity of the gauge. Gauges are available either
temperature compensated or non-temperature compensated. Ambient conditions may require that
the gauge be isolated from temperature extremes. When required, the gauge should be isolated from
temperature extremes with a flexible line assembly.
When ambient conditions are corrosive, contain a large number of particulate or if the gauge will be
exposed to a wet or humid environment like humidity, wash-downs or rain, specify a gauge that is
weatherproof/hermetically sealed or liquid filled.

3. CASE STYLE / MATERIAL

Pressure gauge dial sizes range from less than 1 to 16 diameters. Generally, readability requirements, space limitations and required gauge accuracy determine dial size. Accuracies of 0.25% or
0.5% generally have dial sizes of 412 or larger since more dial graduations are required.

2. DIAL SIZE

For a mechanical pressure gauge, accuracy is defined as a percentage of the full-scale range.
While requirements differ from one industry to another, the following are general guidelines:
Test Gauges and Standards: 0.25% through 0.10% full scale accuracies.
Critical Processes: 0.5% full scale accuracy.
General Industrial Processes: 1.0% accuracy. Less Critical Commercial Uses: 2.0% accuracy.
Refer to ASME B40.100 for more information on accuracy.
