Note: Other than discoloration of the dial and hardening of the

gasketing that may occur as ambient or process temperatures
exceeds 150F, non-liquid-filled gauges with standard glass windows, can withstand continuous operating temperatures up to
250F (121C). Liquid-filled gauges can withstand 200F (93C)
but glycerin fill and acrylic window will tend to yellow. Accuracy
at temperatures above or below the reference ambient temperature of 68F (20C) will be affected by approximately .4% per
25F. Gauges with welded joints will withstand 750F (450F
(232C) with silver brazed joints) for short times without rupture, although other parts of the gauge will be destroyed and
calibration will be lost. For continuous use and for process or
ambient temperatures above 250F (121C), a diaphragm seal
or capillary or siphon is recommended.
