Introduction
SF
6
pressure values, for the filling, must obligatorily be read on the pressure
gauge 0- 1 MPa (tooling). Pay no attention to indications given by the dial den-
simeter (MPa - psi), it is not accurate enough for the filling.
Pressure gauge 0...1 MPa
Pressure units
(reminder)
D The international unit pressure is the Pascal (Pa).
1 bar (14.503 psi) = 1,000 hPa
1 bar = 100 kPa
10 bar = 1 MPa
Symbols
IEC symbols for the apparatus technical characteristics.
Symbol Designation

Important
The filling pressure may be incorrectly shown at low temperatures due to the
risk of partial liquefaction of the SF
6
gas. It is therefore not recommended that
filling or top- up operations be carried out at low temperatures (L)fromthe
tables entitled ”Effective, temperature- corrected SF
6
gas pressure values”.
