• Ranges (according to EN 837-1)

o Maximum values referred to NS:

- 1000 bar for NS 125;

- 4000 bar for NS 100 and 150.

o Divisions related for pressure values between -1 and 4000 bar:

- pressure gauges: see table C1 at page P04;

- compound gauges: see table C1 at page P04;

- other graduations not normalized for single or double range (on request).

o Unit of pressure:

- bar, kPa, MPa, kg/cm2 and psi for single or double range.

o Scale angle:

- 270 °.


• Working pressure

o referred to measuring ranges up to 1600 bar:

- steady: from 1/10 to 3/4;

- fluctuating: from 1/10 to 2/3;

- pulsating: from 1/10 to 1/2.

o referred to measuring ranges of 2500 and 4000 bar:

• Accuracy (secondo EN 837-1)

o SF 316:

- class 1 (± 1% of full scale deflection) standard;

- class 0,6 o 0,5 (± 0,6 o 0,5% of full scale deflection) on request - option V36 o V34 (full scale 4000 bar excluded).

o SF 317:

- class 0,5 (± 0,5% of full scale deflection) standard (according to BS and ANSI).


• Ambient temperature

- -40 ÷ +60 °C dry execution;

- -20 ÷ +60 °C glycerine filled execution;

- -40 ÷ +60 °C silicone fluid filled execution.


• Thermal drift

- out of optimum ambient temperature values included within +15 ÷ +25 °C, the thermal drift affects the instruments accuracy of 0,3% every 10 °C.


• Operating temperature

- -40 ÷ +250 °C dry execution;

- -20 ÷ +100 °C glycerine filled execution;

- -40 ÷ +120 °C silicone fluid filled execution.

note: 80 °C maximum operating temperature for glycerine filled instruments, 120 °C for silicone fluid filled ones.

Solid front safety pressure gauges


SF 316 with stainless steel casing

  • stainless steel or Ni-Span C or Monel Bourdon tube pressure element;
  • NS 100 - 150;
  • ranges included between -1 and 4000 bar.


SF 317 with phenolic casing

  • stainless steel or Monel Bourdon tube pressure element;
  • NS 125 (4 1/2”);
  • ranges included between 1 and 1000 bar.

Solid front pressure gauges are manufactured as per EN 837-1 and ASME B40.1. During the design of this type of pressure gauges, “safety” factor is taken into great consideration. Safety is guaranteed by a protection baffle wall positioned between the pressure element assembly and the dial, and by a blow-out device made of a back plate which allows an eventual pressure vent from the casing.
