How to choose the gasket when installing the pressure gauge?

Answer:

When the tested medium is lower than 80 DEG C and 2MPa, leather or rubber gasket can be used. Under the condition of less than 450 degrees C and 5MPa, asbestos or lead gasket can be used. When the temperature and pressure are higher, the annealed copper or aluminum gasket can be used.
