Kan. Admin. Regs. § 49-52-7 - Steam gauges
(a) Each steam
boiler shall have a steam gauge connected to its water column or a steam
connection by means of a siphon or equivalent device exterior to the boiler.
The siphon shall be of sufficient capacity to keep the gauge tube filled with
water and shall be arranged so that the gauge cannot be shut off from the
boiler except by a cock with tee or lever handle placed in the pipe near the
gauge. The handle of the cock shall be parallel to the pipe in which it is
located when the cock is open.
(b)
The scale on the dial of a steam gauge shall be graduated to not less than 30
psig or more than 3 1/2 times the maximum allowable working pressure. The gauge
shall be provided with effective stops for the indicating pointer at the zero
point and at the maximum pressure point. The pointer shall travel at least
three inches from the zero to 30 psig pressure mark.
