The 4.5-in. plant safety gage features a solid-front/full-blowout back, which reduces blowback and the risk of the gage becoming a dangerous projectile after an explosion. The gage is constructed of Type 316 stainless steel. Accuracy specification is 1/2 of 1% full-scale pressure and the over-range can reach 130% of full-scale pressure without loss of accuracy. The pointer stop on the dial is located in the 6 o’clock position to further reduce the possibility of false indication. All wetted parts, including the tube and socket, are annealed for stress relief to minimize Bourdon tube failure. A spiral Bourdon tube for pressure ranges above 600 psi reduces work hardening usually caused by pressure pulsation.
