Introduction
The SF
6
gas perssure values, for filling, must be read on the pressure
gauge 0...1 MPa (tooling). Do not take any account of the reading on the
densimeter dial (MPa -- psi), as it is not precise enough for the filling.
Pressure gauge 0...1 MPa
Units of pressure
(reminder)
D The international unit of pressure is the pascal (Pa).
1 bar = 1 000 hPa
1 bar = 100 kPa
10 bar = 1 MPa
Symbols
