  • Page 15: Pressure Gauges

    Replacement gauges can be ordered if necessary. The sense line gauge supplied by Protectoseal has a working pressure of up to 15 psig and so should not be damaged by fluctuations in tank pressure. Damage to the supply pressure gauge may indi- cate that the blanketing gas supply system was overpressurized at some point.
