OPERATING SPECIFICATIONS
1. Working Pressure Limitations
a. Dynamic Pressure
The working pressure should be
limited to 60% of the dial range.
b. Static Pressure
The working pressure, where no
sharp À uctuations occur, should be
limited to 90% of the dial range.
* For every 18 °F (10 °C) shift in temperature from which the gauge is calibrated, the user can
experience up to ±0.4% additional error.
** See page 53 for gauge ¿ ll options.
