(18) Pressure gauge (a) Gauge fault (a) Adjust against a known
reads incorrectly pressure source, or replace
(too high or too low) pressure gauge (section 3.22)
(b) If gauge reads high - (b) Clean or replace air valve
air valve sticking (section 3.9). Check temp-
erature calibration

thermocouple thermocouple and recalibrate
calibration faulty (section 3.44)
