refer UG102 (b) in ASME Sev VIII div1:
"Dial indicating pressure gages used in testing shall be graduated over a range of about double the intended
maximum test pressure, but in no case shall the range be less than 11⁄2 nor more than 4 times that pressure. Digital reading pressure gages having a wider range of pressure may be used provided the readings give the same or greater degree of accuracy as obtained with dial pressure gages".On Tue, Jul 26, 2011 at 2:32 AM, David Stevenson <dstevenson@usa.eurotainer.com> wrote:
-- To the experts,
Where can it be found in the code ASME or BS5500 what the proper sizing of a process pressure gauge should be? It has been a rule of thumb for some years that the gauge should have a capacity twice the working pressure. Is this still relevant?
