in Canada). I had completely forgotten it! Thanks for reminding me of it. I
think all of us where I worked at the time (Canadian Institute of Steel

I've just seen this picture for the first time. If you look closely at the
bottom right of each gauge, it looks as if the outer pressure scales are
marked MPa? Hard to see, the picture is not sufficiently hi-res.
If this is true, then the original email received my Michael may just have

A more detailed photo in the .pdf spec sheet makes me think it is a pressure
gauge (the blue covers
I'll admit their web site pictures are not the best. From recollection, the
gauge was primarily psi and kg/cm2 with a separate Fahrenheit and Celsius
scale. I cannot remember a fifth scale. It seems pressure in an Air
Conditioning system is tied to the ambient temperature and hence the
I was under the impression SI pressure in Pascal's was always positive. Earth
pressure near 100 kPa, Mars pressure near 20 kPa, outer space near 0 Pa. Is
this correct. I see the gauge from Yellow Jacket has an area listing a minus
side.

Man, that sucks. ;) Sorry, couldn't resist.

I have never noticed anything in the SI Brochure or NIST SP330 requiring
pressure to be stated on an absolute basis vs gauge. Obviously the other side
is atmospheric pressure.
Since proper procedure is to purge the a/c system to a vacuum and refill with
refrigerant, absolute pressure might
Without going back to the picture, differential pressure gauge are common in
industry - 0 Pa indicates that the pressure on both sides are equal, a
negative pressure indicates that the pressure on the left hand side
(whatever is meant by that) is greater and a positive pressure indicates
that the

You, like me, might know of the unit, tesla (T), but know little about
the man. This short movie might help.
