PRESSURE GAUGE INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE www.winters.
Operation and Maintenance of a Pressure Gauge Inspection Frequency The frequency of inspection is dependent on the severity of service and how critical the accuracy of the indicating pressure is. The inspection frequency can range from monthly to annual basis. To ensure the accuracy of your pressure readings it is strongly recommended that all pressure gauges be recalibrated and certified each year.
Installation of a Pressure Gauge Location Vibration and extreme ambient temperatures can affect the dial reading of the pressure gauge. These areas should be avoided as much as possible. Mounting A suitable thread sealant is required for NPT threads such as pipe dope or Teflon® tape. Never use any part of the pressure gauge other than the wrench flats that is on the gauge socket. Always tighten with an open end or adjustable wrench on the wrench flats.
