Heavy-duty high pressure Series
40 Jerguson Gages are available in both reflex and transparent
(shown above) types. (Reflex gages assembled
with a single plain glass for greater strength.) These
gages are designed and manufactured to the highest industry
standards. Their dependability under difficult high
pressure operating conditions is well known in the process
industries.
Series 40 gages have a one-piece liquid
chamber machined from solid bar steel. Interchangeable
sectional gage covers and glasses are tightly
locked over the liquid chamber with special
bolts and nuts. Recessed gasket seats
have a fine finish to provide a positively
leakproof seal between the chamber and glass.

same size windows in a single piece bar stock liquid chamber
are used for longer lengths.
