Gauge Range Selector

ISA 5.1 / ASME B40.100 — Normal reading 60-75% of full scale
Per ISA 5.1, gauges should normally operate between 25% and 75% of full scale. Pulsating service: 50% max. Minimum range = Pmax × 1.33 (steady) or × 2.00 (pulsating).
Min Range = Pmax × 1.33  // ISA 5.1 steady service
Min Range = Pmax × 2.00  // ISA 5.1 pulsating / cyclic
For pump/compressor suction, boiler feedwater, and condensers where pressure may swing below atmospheric — select Compound.

ISA 5.1 Operating Zones
25-75% — Normal operating band
75-100% — Caution zone
>100% — Exceeds range
Pulsating service: limit to 50% max per ISA 5.1. Liquid-filled gauges recommended for cyclic service.
