3.3.5 Pressure Connection

3.3.5.1 Location of Connection

(a) stem mounted - bottom or back
(b) surface mounted - bottom or back

(c) flush mounted - back

3.3.5.2 Type of Connection. Taper pipe

connections for pressures up through 20,000
psi or 160,000 kPa are usually 1/8-27NPT,
1/4-18NTP, or 1/2-14NPT American Standard
external or internal taper pipe threads per
ASME B1.20.1. as required. Above this pres­sure, 1/4 high pressure tubing connections, or
equal, may be used. Other appropriately sized
connections, employing sealing means other
than tapered threads, are acceptable.
In applications of stem mounted gauges,
especially with liquid filled cases and where
vibration is severe, consideration should be
given to the possibility of failure of the stem or
associated piping caused by the vibrating mass
of the gauge. A large connection (e.g., 1/2NPT
instead of 1/4NPT) or a stronger stem material
(e.g., stainless steel instead of brass), or both,
should be considered.

3.4.1.10 Mounting a pressure gauge in a posi­tion other than that at which it was calibrated
can affect its accuracy. Normal calibration po­sition is upright and vertical. For applications
requiring mounting in other than this position,
notify the supplier.

3.4.1.12 Caution to Users.

Pressure gauges can be rendered inaccurate
during shipment despite care taken in packag­ing. To ensure conformance to the standard
grade to which the pressure gauge was manu­factured, it should be checked before use.

4 SAFETY

4.1 Scope

This Section of the Standard presents certain
information to guide users, suppliers, and
manufacturers toward minimizing the hazards
that could result from misuse or misapplication
of pressure gauges with elastic elements. The
user should become familiar with all sections
of this Standard, as all aspects of safety can­not be covered in this Section. Consult the
manufacturer or supplier for advice whenever
there is uncertainty about the safe application
of a pressure gauge.

4.2 General Discussion

4.2.1 Adequate safety results from intelligent

planning and careful selection and installation
of gauges into a pressure system. The user
should inform the supplier of all conditions
pertinent to the application and environment
so that the supplier can recommend the most
suitable gauge for the application.

4.2.2 The history of safety with respect to
the use of pressure gauges has been excellent.
Injuries to personnel and damages to property
have been minimal. In most instances, the
cause of failure has been misuse or misap­plication.

4.2.3 The pressure sensing element in most
gauges is subjected to high internal stresses,
and applications exist where the possibility of
catastrophic failure is present. Pressure regu­lators, diaphragm (chemical) seals, pulsation

dampers or snubbers, syphons, and other simi­lar items, are available for use in these poten­tially hazardous systems. The hazard potential
increases at higher operating pressure.

4.2.4

The following systems are considered
potentially hazardous and must be carefully
evaluated:

(a) compressed gas systems
(b) oxygen systems
(c) systems containing hydrogen or free

hydrogen atoms
(d) corrosive fluid systems (gas and liquid)
(e) pressure systems containing any explosive

or flammable mixture or medium
(f) steam systems

(g) nonsteady pressure systems
(h) systems where high overpressure could be

accidentally applied
(i) systems wherein interchangeability of

gauges could result in hazardous internal

contamination or where lower pressure

gauges could be installed in higher

pressure systems
(j) systems containing radioactive or toxic

fluids (liquids or gases)
(k) systems installed in a hazardous

environment

4.2.5 When gauges are to be used in contact
with media having known or uncertain cor­rosive effects or known to be radioactive,
random or unique destructive phenomena can
occur. In such cases the user should always
furnish the supplier or manufacturer with in­formation relative to the application and solicit
his advice prior to installation of the gauge.

4.2.6 Fire and explosions within a pressure
system can cause pressure element failure with
very violent effects, even to the point of com­pletely disintegrating or melting the pressure
gauge. Violent effects are also produced when
failure occurs due to:

(a) hydrogen embrittlement;
(b) contamination of a compressed gas;
(c) formation of acetylides;
(d) weakening of soft solder joints by steam

or other heat sources;
(e) weakening of soft soldered or silver

brazed joints caused by heat sources

such as fires;
(f) corrosion;

(g) fatigue;
(h) mechanical shock;

(i) excessive vibration.

Failure in a compressed gas system can be
expected to produce violent effects.

4.2.7 Modes of Pressure Gauge Failure

4.2.7.1 Fatigue Failure. Fatigue failure

caused by pressure induced stress generally
occurs from the inside or the outside along
a highly stressed edge radius, appearing as
a small crack that propagates along the edge
radius. Such failures are usually more critical
with compressed gas media than with liquid

media.

Fatigue cracks usually release the media fluid
slowly so case pressure buildup can be averted
by providing pressure relief openings in the
gauge case. However, in high pressure elastic
elements where the yield strength approaches
the ultimate strength of the element material,

IMPORTANT - Read other side for additional instructions and warnings.

fatigue failure may resemble explosive failure.
A snubber (restrictor) placed in the gauge
pressure inlet will reduce pressure surges
and restrict fluid flow from the partially open
elastic element.

4.2.7.2 Overpressure Failure. Overpressure
failure is caused by the application of internal
pressure greater than the rated limits of the
elastic element and can occur when a low
pressure gauge is installed in a high pressure
port or system. The effects of overpressure
failure, usually more critical in compressed
gas systems than in liquid filled systems,
are unpredictable and may cause parts to
be propelled in any direction. Cases with
pressure relief openings will not always retain
expelled parts.
Placing a snubber (restrictor) in the pres­sure gauge inlet will not reduce the immediate
effect of failure, but will help control flow of
escaping fluid following rupture and reduce
the potential of secondary effects.
It is generally accepted that solid front cases
with pressure relief back will reduce the pos­sibility of parts being projected forward in the
event of failure.
The window alone will not provide
adequate protection against internal case pres­sure buildup, and can be the most hazardous

component.

Short duration pressure impulses (pressure
spikes) may occur in hydraulic or pneumatic
systems, especially when valves open or close.
The magnitude of the spikes may be many
times the normal operating pressure, and may
not be indicated by the gauge. The result
could be immediate failure, or a large upscale
error. A snubber (restrictor) may reduce the
magnitude of the pressure transmitted to the
elastic element.

4.2.7.3 Corrosion Failure. Corrosion
failure occurs when the elastic element has
been weakened through attack by corrosive
chemicals present in either the media inside or
the environment outside it. Failure may occur
as pin-hole leakage through the element walls
or early fatigue failure due to stress cracking
brought about by chemical deterioration or
embrittlement of the material.
A diaphragm (chemical) seal should be con­sidered for use with pressure media that may
have a corrosive effect on the element.

4.2.7.4 Explosive Failure. Explosive failure
is caused by the release of explosive energy
generated by a chemical reaction such as can
result when adiabetic compression of oxygen
occurs in the presence of hydrocarbons. It
is generally accepted that there is no known
means of predicting the magnitude of or
effects of this type of failure. For this mode
of failure, a solid wall or partition between the
elastic element and the window will not neces­sarily prevent parts being projected forward.

Vibration Failure. The most com-

4.2.7.5

mon mode of vibration failure is movement
parts wear because of high cyclic loading
caused by vibration, resulting in gradual loss
of accuracy, and, ultimately failure of the
pointer to indicate any pressure change.

4.2.7.6 Vibration-Induced Fatigue Failure.
In addition to its effect of the gauge movement

and linkage (see para. 4.2.7.5) vibration may,
in some instances, result in high loading of
various parts of the pressure element assembly.
This loading could cause cracks in the element
itself, or in joints. Case pressure buildup may
be slow, but it is possible that a large hole may
suddenly develop, with a high rate of case
pressure rise, which could result in a failure
similar to an explosive failure.

4.2.8 Pressure Connection. See recom-

mendations in para. 3.3.5.

4.3 Safety Recommendations

4.3.1 Operating Pressure. The pressure

gauge selected should have a full scale pres­sure such that the operating pressure occurs in
the middle half (25 to 75%) of the scale. The
full scale pressure of the gauge selected should
be approximately two times the intended
operating pressure.
Should it be necessary for the operating
pressure to exceed 75% of full scale, contact
the supplier for recommendations.
This does not apply to test, retarded, or sup­pressed scale gauges.

4.3.2 Use of Gauges Near Zero Pressure

The use of gauges near zero pressure is not
recommended because the accuracy tolerance
of the gauge may be a large percentage of the
applied pressure. If for example, 1 0/100 psi
Grade A gauge is used to measure 4 psi, the
accuracy of measurement will be +/- 2 psi, or
50% of the applied pressure.
For this reason, gauges should not be used
for the purposes of indicating the residual
pressure in a tank, autoclave, or other similar
device which has been seemingly exhausted.
Depending on the accuracy and the range of
the gauge, hazardous pressure may remain in
the tank even thought the gauge is indicating
zero pressure. The operator may develop
a false sense of security when the gauge
indicates zero or near-zero pressure even
though there may be substantial pressure in
the system. A venting device must be used
to completely reduce the pressure to zero
before unlocking covers, removing fittings, or
performing other similar activities.

4.3.3 Compatibility With Medium

4.3.3.1 Wetted Parts

The elastic element is generally a thin-walled
member, which of necessity operates under
high stress conditions and must; therefore, be
carefully selected for compatibility with the
medium being measured. None of the com­mon element materials is impervious to every
type of chemical attack. The potential for
corrosive attack is established by many factors,
including the concentration, temperature, and
contamination of the medium. The user should
inform the gauge supplier of the installation
conditions so that the appropriate element
material can be selected.

4.3.4 In addition to the factors discussed
above, the capability of a pressure element is
influenced by the design, material and fabrica­tion of the joints between its parts.

(Excerpts from ASME B40.100-2005 continue on back)

Common methods of joining are soft soldering, silver brazing, and welding. Joints can be af­fected by temperature, stress, and corrosive media. Where application questions arise, these factors
should be considered and discussed by the user and supplier.

4.3.5 Some special applications require that the pressure element assembly have a high degree of
leakage integrity. User should contact the supplier to assure that the allowable leakage rate is not
exceeded.

4.3.6 Cases

4.3.6.1 Case, Solid Front. It is generally accepted that a solid front case per para. 3.3.1 will

reduce the possibility of parts being projected forward in the event of elastic element assembly
failure. An exception is explosive failure of the elastic element assembly.

4.3.6.2 Cases, Liquid Filled. It has been general practice to use glycerine or silicone filling

liquids. These fluids must be avoided where strong oxidizing agents, including, but not limited to,
oxygen, chlorine, nitric acid, and hydrogen peroxide are involved. In the presence of oxidizing
agents, potential hazard can result from chemical reaction, ignition, or explosion. Completely

fluorinated or chlorinated fluids or both, may be more suitable for such applications.

The user shall furnish detailed information relative to the application of gauges having liquid

filled cases and solicit the advice of the gauge supplier prior to installation.

In a compressed gas application consideration should also be given to the instantaneous hydrau­lic effect that may be created by one of the modes of failure outlined in para 4.2.7. The hydraulic
effect due to pressure element failure could cause the window to be projected forward even when a
case having a solid front is employed.

4.3.7 Snubber Placing a snubber or a restrictor between the pressure connection and the elastic
element will not reduce the immediate effect of failure, but will help reduce flow of escaping fluid
following rupture and reduce the potential of secondary effects.

4.3.8 Specific Service Conditions

4.3.8.1 Specific applications for pressure gauges exist where hazards are known. In many

instances, requirements for design, construction and use of gauges for these applications are speci-

fied by state or federal agencies or Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. Some of these specific service

gauges are listed below. This list is not intended to include all types, and the user should always
advise the supplier for all application details.

In addition to the ASME B40.100-2005 standard, the following additional instructions and warnings should be read and understood before using this product.

A very important aspect of selecting and installing pressure gauges is the consideration of the hazards that
will result in the event the gauge fails. The primary causes of failure are misapplication and/or abuse of the
gauge. Those people who are responsible for the selection and installation of pressure gauges must recognize
conditions which will adversely affect the ability of the gauge to perform its function or which will lead to
early failure. These conditions may then be discussed with the supplier to obtain their recommendations.

Failure may constitute:

1. Loss of accuracy.

2. Clogging of the pressure port, or damage to the internal mechanism so that there is either:
a. no indication when pressure is applied or
b. there is an indication of pressure even though none is applied.

3. A leak in the pressure containing parts or joints.

4. A crack or fatigue failure of the bourdon.

5. Bursting of the bourdon due to severe overpressure.

6. An explosion with the system due to a chemical reaction of the pressure medium with contaminants
cause the bourdon to explode.

When specifying, using or installing a pressure gauge, the following factors must be given attention:

1. Operating Pressure

Do not continuously operate the gauge at more than 75% of the span. Bourdon tubes are necessarily highly
stressed, especially in ranges over 1000 psi and continuous operation at full scale will result in early fatigue
failure and subsequent rupture.

2. Materials

Be certain the materials of the pressure containing portions of the gauge are compatible with the pressurized
medium. Gauges are commonly made of copper alloys (brass, bronze, etc.) and may be subject to stress cor­rosion or chemical attack. Bourdons have relatively thin walls, and the accuracy of the indication is directly
affected by any reduction in the wall thickness. Use of the same material for bourdon as used for the tank or
associated piping is not necessarily good practice. A material having a corrosion rate of .001”/year may be
suitable for the piping, but will be entirely unsuitable for a bourdon having a wall thickness of, for example,
.008 inches. It is imperative that the proper bourdon material be selected for the service on which the gauge

is used. Gauges specifically constructed for corrosion services are available.

3. Cyclic Pressure and Vibration

Continuous, rapid pointer motion will result in excessive war of the internal mechanism and cause gross
errors in the pressure indicated and possibly early fatigue failure of the bourdon. If the pointer motion is due
to mechanical vibration, the gauge must be remotely mounted on a non-vibrating surface and connected to

the apparatus by flexible tubing. If the pointer motion is due to pressure pulsations, a suitable damper must

be used between the pressure source and the gauge.

4. Fatigue

As with any spring, the bourdon will fail after extended use and release the pressurized medium. The larger
the number of applied pressure cycles and the greater the extent of the pressure cycle, the earlier failure will
occur. The fatigue failure may be explosive. Since such a failure will be hazardous to personnel or property,
precautions must be taken to contain or direct the release of the pressurized medium in a safe manner.

4.3.8.2 Acetylene Gauge. A gauge designed to indicate acetylene pressure (and other gases hav­ing similar properties). The gauge may bear the inscription ACETYLENE on the dial.

4.3.8.3 Ammonia Gauge. A gauge designed to indicate ammonia pressure and to withstand cor­rosive effects of ammonia. The gauge may bear the inscription AMMONIA or NH3 on the dial. It
should also include the equivalent saturation temperature scale markings on the dial. Materials such
as copper, brass, and silver brazing alloys should not be used.

4.3.8.4 Chemical Gauge. A gauge designed to indicate the pressure of corrosive or high viscosity
fluids, or both. The primary material(s) in contact with the pressure medium may be identified on
the dial. It may be equipped with a diaphragm (chemical) seal, pulsation damper, or pressure relief
device, or a combination. These devices help to minimize potential damage to personnel and prop­erty on the event of gauge failure. They may, however, also reduce accuracy or sensitivity, or both.

4.3.8.5 Oxygen Gauge. A gauge designed to indicate oxygen pressure. Cleanliness shall comply

with Level IV (see Section 5). The dial shall be clearly marked with a universal symbol and/or USE
NO OIL in red color (see para. 6.1.1.4).

4.4 Reuse of Pressure Gauges

It is not recommended that pressure gauges be moved from one application to another for the fol­lowing reasons:

(a) Chemical Compatibility. The consequences of incompatibility can range from contamination
to explosive failure. For example, moving an oil service gauge to oxygen service can result in
explosive failure.

(b) Partial Fatigue. The first installation may involve pressure pulsation that has expended most of
the gauge life, resulting in early fatigue in the second installation.

(c) Corrosion. Corrosion of the pressure element assembly in the first installation may be sufficient

to cause early failure in the second installation.

5. Frequency of Accuracy Evaluation

Where the pressure measurement is critical and gauge failure or gross inaccuracy will result in hazard to
personnel or property, the gauge should be checked for accuracy and proper operation on a periodic basis.

6. Use with Oxygen

Gauges used for measurement of oxygen pressure must be free of contamination within the pressure contain­ing portion. Various levels of cleanliness are specified in ASME B40.1. The gauge itself and the equipment
to which the gauge is attached (pressure regulators, cylinders, etc.) must be kept clean so as not to contami­nate the gauge. Filters on the equipment must be examined periodically and cleaned or replaced. The sud­den in-rush of a high pressure gas will momentarily create a very high temperature which in the presence of
oxygen may ignite the contaminant causing a violent explosion. Therefore, when the valve on the oxygen

supply tank is opened, to admit oxygen to the regulator, the valve should be opened very slowly so as to
allow the pressure to build up slowly. In order to accomplish this it is recommended that the tank valve be

opened momentarily and the closed snugly but not excessively before attaching the regulator. This will not
only blow out accumulated dirt in the valve, but will also place the valve in a condition that will permit it to
be opened slowly rather than suddenly breaking loose as a result of being closed too tightly. When bleeding
the oxygen tank prior to attaching the regulator, be certain the valve opening is directed away from any open

flame and the operator. When opening the oxygen tank valve, the operator must not stand in front of or
behind the gauge and must wear eye and face protection. In this position if there is an explosion due to

contaminated equipment any particles projected from the gauge will not be propelled directly at the operator.

7. Use with Hydrogen

Steel bourdons including 400 series stainless steel are subject to hydrogen embrittlement when stressed.
Measurement of gas or liquids containing hydrogen (such as natural gas, sour oil) require the use of special
materials for the bourdon.

8. Venting of Case

Vents provided in the pressure gauge case (clearance around pressure connection, rubber grommets, pressure
relief back, etc.) must not be closed or restricted from operating. There is always the possibility that the pres­sure medium will be admitted to the case interior as a result of a leaking joint or bourdon tube failure. If this

occurs, the pressure medium must be vented from the case so as not to build up sufficient pressure to rupture
the case or window. However, venting will not prevent case rupture in the event of a violent explosion.

9. Liquid Filled Gauges

Performance of pressure gauges used in severe vibration or pulsating pressure service, can be improved by

filling the gauge case with a viscous fluid. Gauges constructed in this manner necessarily require sealed
cases to prevent the escape of the liquid. However, some means of venting the case must be provided. In
some instances this vent is sealed to prevent loss of fluid during shipment, and must be released after the

gauge is installed. Be certain to follow the installation instructions for properly venting the gauge after
installation. The liquid filling most commonly used is a mixture of glycerin and water.

Glycerin can combine with strong oxidizing agents including (but not limited to) oxygen, chlorine,

nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide, and result in an explosion which can cause property damage and
personal injury. If gauges are to be used in such service, do not use glycerin filled gauges; consult the
supplier for proper filling medium.

WARNING - Misuse of this product may cause explosion and personal injury. Do not use without first reading and understanding

these instructions and the apparatus installation and operating instructions.

Important - Read other side for additional instructions and warnings.
