What is proof pressure? ASME B40.100 Bourdon Tube Proof Pressure Definition Proof pressure (often times called over pressure) is the maximum pressure a gauge can withstand without evidence of change in accuracy. Proof pressure may be a semi-destructive test and should not be conducted repeatedly on the same gauge. It may be expressed as a pressure or as a percentage of full scale.
Proof Pressures Pressure gauges should not operate continuously at the proof pressure limits stated. The maximum continuous pressure a gauge should be subjected to is 75% of the gauge span per ASME B40.100. Back to FAQs![]()
