150°F, non-liquid-filled gauges with standard glass windows, can
withstand continuous operating temperatures up to 250°F (121°C).
Liquid-filled gauges can withstand 200°F (93°C) but glycerin fill and
acrylic window will tend to yellow. Accuracy at temperatures above
or below the reference ambient temperature of 68°F (20°C) will be
affected by approximately .4% per 25°F. Gauges with welded joints
will withstand 750°F (400°C), 450°F (232°C) with silver brazed
joints for short times without rupture, although other parts of the
gauge will be destroyed and calibration will be lost. For continuous
use and for process or ambient temperatures above 250°F (121°C),
a diaphragm seal or capillary or siphon is recommended.
