Accuracy Grades
The YB Series uses a Bourdon tube as its sensing element and is classified as a high-precision spring-tube pressure gauge. Four accuracy grades are available:
-
0.4% FS – High-accuracy pressure gauge
-
0.25% FS – High-accuracy pressure gauge
-
0.16% FS – High-precision precision pressure gauge
-
0.1% FS – High-precision precision pressure gauge
The 0.4% and 0.25% grades are commonly referred to as high-accuracy gauges, while the 0.16% and 0.1% grades are designated as high-precision precision pressure gauges.
