About the Pressure Gauge Data Sheet
Pressure gauges are cheap, but a gauge with the wrong range or no protection against pulsation fails quickly or is unreadable. A short data sheet gets the range, class and accessories right.
How to fill in this template
- Enter the operating and maximum pressure and any pulsation or vibration.
- Choose a scale range; the sheet shows normal pressure as % of range.
- Select dial size, accuracy class and materials for the service.
- Add accessories: valve, siphon for steam, snubber for pulsation, seal for corrosive fluids.
- Issue with the requisition.
What the formulas do
- No formulas: specification document laid out in sections like an ISA 20 style data sheet.

Frequently Asked Questions
What range should a pressure gauge have?
Normal pressure about 30 to 75 % of full scale, with maximum pressure not above about 75 % for steady pressure.
Why fill a gauge with glycerine?
The liquid damps pointer movement from pulsation and vibration and protects the movement.
What does accuracy class 1.0 mean?
The permissible error is ± 1 % of the full scale span (EN 837).
