Temperature Limitations
Ambient temperature: -40 up to +60 °C (-40 up to +140 °F)
- with glycerine filling: -20 up to +60 °C (-4 up to +140 °F)
- with special oil filling: -40 up to +60 °C (-40 up to +140 °F)
Medium temperature: max. +315 °C (+600 °F)
Temperature Caused Error
The accuracy error caused by media or ambient temperatures differing from +20 °C (+68 °F) is significant. It can be estimated with .4% per each 10 °C (18 °F).
Protection Type
IP 65 (EN 60529 / IEC 529)
Standard Configuration
Connection
½" NPT bottom connection 316 stainless steel (1.4571)
Bourdon Tube
316 stainless steel (1.4571), argon arc welded
- 600 psi resp. 40 bar and below = C-form
- 800 psi resp. 60 bar and above = helical
Movement
Stainless steel
Dial
Aluminum alloy, black figures, white background
Pointer
Aluminum alloy black, micrometer adjustable
Case and Ring
Black Phenolic, with integral rear flange (fire retardant and impact resistant acc. to UL 94 VO);
Model RPG 115 StD fillable, model RPG 115 StL with case filling glycerine
Safety Features
Solid front between measuring system and dial with full blow-out safety back. Should the Bourdon tube rupture, the entire case back separates, allowing full relief.
