There is an industrial refrigeration installation with ammonia in a place where the altitude is 1000m above the sea level. The manometric pressure in the liquid separator 0,19MPa.

So all Refrigerants Thermophysical Properties Tables are in absolute pressures what´s the ammonia saturation temperature in this case?

Regards.

Not sure why you need to convert as once system has ammonia in it and sealed up atmospheric pressure won't effect it in anyway ?

If you have absolute reading subtract 0.1 mpa for gauge reading .
ie atmospheric pressure at sea level + 101 kpa or 14.7 psi for absolute reading .

Maybe you can also adjust readout to gauge if you have a frick or similar control panel .

Unless that's a differential gauge: Your atmospheric pressure will have nothing to do with the reading, or with the Sat Temp corresponding (As ranger staates). The answer i s Minus 20 C. is corresponding Sat Temp.

Has nothing to do with altitude, the reference relates to absolute conditions as a standard.
