ASTM F0707_F0707M-94R24 - Standard Specification for Modular Gauge Boards

1.1 This specification covers modular gauge boards for mounting 89-mm [3¹/₂-in.], 114-mm [4¹/₂-in.], 152-mm [6-in.], and 216-mm [8¹/₂-in.] dial size pressure gauges and dial thermometers for miscellaneous shipboard applications.

1.2 Gauge boards ordered under this specification are suitable for pressure gauges and dial thermometers with either turret or back flanged type cases and with either back or bottom connections (see Appendix X1).

1.3 Gauge mounting dimensions shall be in accordance with ASME B40.1.

1.4 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system are not necessarily exact equivalents; therefore, to ensure conformance with the standard, each system shall be used independently of the other, and values from the two systems shall not be combined.

1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
