Install / Failure Note

The gauge-guard variant of this same line trades accuracy (±1.5% vs. ±0.75% direct-diaphragm) to keep a standard, cheaper 316SS/brass gauge movement fully isolated from the process fluid — a real accuracy-for-cost tradeoff worth flagging when a chemical-processing pressure point doesn't need direct-diaphragm precision.

A pressure gauge with a standard bronze or brass movement bonded directly against an aggressive process chemical corrodes from the inside before it ever shows a bad reading. Icon's OBS Series solves that with a PTFE Teflon bonded diaphragm across a corrosion-resistant PVC/PP/PVDF body — the OBS-TT variant adds a peak-hold indicator so an operator can catch a transient pressure spike after the fact.
