7. Method of Mounting: Bottom (LM) and back (CBM or LBM) connections are
available for most AMETEK gauges. AMETEKs cataloged products have
standard NPT threaded connections. Other types such as metric threads, straight
threads, hose barbs, and other special fittings are available as special order.
AMETEK pressure gauges are calibrated in the vertical, upright position and
should be mounted as such. For applications where the gauge is mounted
sideways, horizontally, or upside down, the gauge should be recalibrated in the
position in which it will ultimately be used.
9. Case Venting: AMETEK Liquid Filled gauges have an elastometric vent / fill
plug tip which can be easily cut (after installation) to permit case venting. This is
recommended for all liquid filled gauges, especially those with maximum
pressure ratings of 100 psi and under. This will compensate for atmospheric
changes that could effect the calibration of the filled gauge.
