Note: Other than discoloration of the dial and hardening of the
gasketing that may occur as ambient or process temperatures (3)

exceeds 150°F, non-liquid-filled gauges with standard glass win-

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