NOTES:
(1) Liquid-fillable or hermetically sealed when kit 101A202-01 (lower) or kit 101A203-01 (back) is ordered.
(2) For selection of the correct Bourdon system material, see the media application table on page 9.
(3) Use on applications where NACE MR-01-75 is specified for selection of the correct Bourdon system material.

GAUGE ACCURACY
Duragauge gauges are made in accordance with ANSI B40.1 (Gauges, pressure and vacuum, indicating dial type – elastic element), Accuracy
Grade 2A (±0.5% of span). Because of hysteresis, the downscale accuracy of a 20,000 psi gauge (S) or (R) code is 1.2%.
Maximum pressure at which a gauge is continually operated should not exceed 75% of full scale range.
