Bourdon Tube Process Connection Joints Note: Other than discoloration of the dial and hardening of the gasketing that may occur as ambient
or process temperatures exceeds 150 °F, non-liquid-filled gauges with standard glass windows, can
316L Stainless steel 316L Stainless steel Welded 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
316L Stainless steel Steel Welded below the reference ambient temperature of 68 °F (20 °C) will be affected by approximately .4% per
25 °F. Gauges with welded joints will withstand 750 °F (400 °C), 450 °F (232 °C) with silver brazed
K-Monel® 500 Monel® 400, Steel Welded joints for short times without rupture, although other parts of the gauge will be destroyed and calibration
C510 Pho. Bronze Brass Silver Brazed 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.
