Scope
1.1 This Standard covers minimum requirements for indicating pressure gauges of the elastic element
type.
1.2 Indicating pressure gauges include:
a) High pressure gauges employed in the high-pressure side of regulators or reducing valves used
on compressed gas containers or cylinders of oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, and other gases usually
have pressure ranges of 0 – 500, 0 – 1 000, 0 – 1 500, 0 – 2 000, 0 – 3 000, 0 – 4 000, 0 – 5 000, or
0 – 6 000 pounds per square inch (psi) (The related metric gauge ranges are approximately 0 –
3.4, 0 – 6.89, 0 – 10.34, 0 – 13.78, 0 – 20.68, 0 – 27.56, 0 – 34.47, or 0 – 41.36 MPa); and
b) Differential pressure gauges employed to measure the difference between two pressures with a
maximum inlet pressure of 1 000 psig (6.89 MPa).
1.3 For requirements for gauges employed in the low side of regulators with ranges of 1 000 psig (6.89
MPa) or less, refer to the Standard for Compressed Gas Regulator Accessories, ANSI/CAN/UL/ULC
252A.
