    1. The document discusses various aspects of pressure gauge sizes, scales, designs, materials, and testing procedures. It covers nominal gauge sizes in inches and millimeters, scale ranges for different pressure types, common design elements like cases, windows, mounts, connections, and mechanisms. 2. Testing procedures are outlined to check accuracy at various temperatures, hysteresis, effects of overpressure and storage conditions. Accuracy grades, reference conditions, and methods for increasing and decreasing pressure tests are defined. 3. Design and construction details include window materials, mounting styles, tapered and straight shank connections, dial markings, pointer dimensions and stops, and safety features like pressure relief mechanisms. Materials, corrosion resistance, temperature effects and
