Dry Gauge Calibration
To calibrate the gauge you will need the following:
1. Pressure calibration equipment
2. Adjustable or open end wrench
3. Flat head screwdriver
4. Pliers
Attach gauge to pressure testing apparatus.
Zero the Pointer
With no pressure applied, verify that the pointer is located inside the
zero box area. If the pointer is not within the box, rotate the external adjustment screw pictured until the pointer is in
the center of the box area as shown.
Calibrating Gauge
Using pliers, pull the needle off the gauge, making sure to pull the needle straight out.
Pressurize calibration equipment to a major increment in the operating range of the Sidewinder. Place the needle on
the gauge at the known increment, making sure the needle has snapped into place.
Example: For a Sidewinder with a 300 psi gauge using fittings that require 250 psi, pressurize calibration equipment
to 250 and adjust the needle to 250 psi.
Replace bezel
NOTICE: Applying excess pressure will permanently damage the gauge. Never apply pressure that is greater than the
maximum indication on the pressure gauge. The calibration procedure will not correct a damaged gauge.
