Hello there,
Newbie here. When I found this website I told myself I have to sign-up.

Welcome e'718
As lowcool states a compound Gauges is low side only.
Compound relates to the "range" the gauge covers.
In this case either side of Atmospheric Pressure.
IE. Positive and Negative pressure.
Try google
There are lots of good sites to choose from.

Re: Compound Gauge
This is definition of compound gauge term:
http://www.engnet.co.uk/tips/glossar...COMPOUND+GAUGE
It make sense that any gauge who shows both negative and positive pressure could be (or even should) also called compound.
It doesn't make sense to deny that high pressure gauge with indication of negative pressure should be called "compound".
(Did I wrote this understandably?)
But, as we see from following picture, it is common to not call high pressure gauge with negative and positive part of scale as "compound", but as "pressure" (which is also correct term, by definition, for both gauges).

Re: Compound Gauge
Morning Grizzly,
So what scale do these cover Tony?
Admittedly the -1 barg to 0 barg is only about 5 mm but it is there.Tony
