I just bought this and when it arrived I realized it does not have a pressure gauge? How are you supposed to know what pressure you are at?

A pressure gauge should have been included. I would contact Amazon and let them know the gauge was missing so they could send you one.

I purchased this for my daughter, and she has not said anything about missing the pressure gauge. I suggest you check wthe manufacturer.

There are three (3) pieces to the rocking regulator. Take to two round disks off of the stem piece. The stem piece is 5 PSI or 5 pounds of pressure. Add one round disk to the stem piece and you have 10 PSI or 10 pounds of pressure. When you add the third disk to the assembly above you then have 15 PSI or 15 pounds of pressure. When the appropriate pressure is reached, the pressure assembly will start to rock back and forth indicating that the pressure has been reached. Start your process timing at this point. Lower the burner to where the rocker is just calmly going back and forth for the duration of the processing time. This type of pressure regulating system is the best if you do not have an Extension service close by or somewhere that you can get the gauge type checked, because a gauge (dial) has to be checked every year for safety reasons. Hope this helps. The canner/cooker is really a good one.

You do not place the weight (jiggler) on until the pressure canner has vented for 10 minutes if you are canning! Venting means a steady stream of steam leaving the canner. It is part of the canning process and must be done.

Once the canner has vented a steady stream of steam for ten minutes, place the weight on the vent. When it begins to rock gently then you can begin timing, your canner has come to pressure. You may need to watch it and reduce the heat to keep it at a regular rocking motion.

Are you referring to a round dial gauge? If so this P.C. does not have one. Good thing because you never have to have it checked. The "gauge is the three piece rocking regulator that hits on the middle (center ) tube. The piece that fits on the tube is for 5 PSI, add one ring and it is for 10 PSI, and with the addition of the third ring it becomes a 15 PSI regulator.

This model pressure canner does not have a dial gauge. The information plainly states: "The Granite Ware pressure canner, steamer, and cooker uses the UL-recommended adjustable 3-piece pressure regulator system." The manual that comes with the canner should explain how to use the 3-piece weight correctly.

On the "indicator" you will have 2 donut shaped rings that go around the Indicator, 1 ring is 5lbs & 2 rings, If I remember correctly are 10lbs. of pressure

Gauges like that are standardized at a pressure reading at room temperature. Trying to get a temperature from the hot water tank will guarantee inaccurate readings.

I just pumped it up to where it was good and firm. I don't think there is a way to measure the pressure.

You cannot adjust to a desired pressure with this device. It regulates to a fixed value and shows you the reading so you are sure of it.

Hi Zitch I just look up the operating instructions on line and it does not indicate that you can calibrate this gauge. I have checked mine against a few manual gauges and it was very accurate. Hope this helps. Dave.

No, I don't think it came with either. We ordered a new pressure gauge with it also from Amazon, and used the old sight glass. It worked very well, no problems at all, easy to install to replace the leaky one.

If the gauge is in line after the tanks are coupled, it will measure the relative pressure, as noted by a comment from Mike. I would ask a "pro", though, before I would try to cobble something together.

A pressure relief valve, which was not included and I can't find one locally, so I asked the company for advise, but so far they have NOT answered.

You don't... There is nothing on this press that indicates how much pressure you are applying. I just go by resistance and how much whey is being released.

I also bought a tire gauge, but I think the cut-off switch setting on this unit will get you very close. I usually slightly over-inflate all tires (except the spares) on all three of our cars and then use the gauge to let air out lowering the pressure to the right level for each tire. Saves time. The pressure gauge is much more accurate if you are OCD as I am.machine separately

This is a question that needs to go back to the manufacture. I can not understand why you would need this information because the air does not go through the gauge. Unless this is used for medical, you are being overly protective or live in California. If it is being used the gauge for medical equipment, you should go back to the original equipment manufacturer.

the pressure switch is adjustable, the one I order was preset at 40-60 psi......... 40 being the cut-in and 60 being the cut-out........... look for one with the pressure setting you want; otherwise you will have to read directions and set it either higher or lower yourself.......... not hard to do. hope this helps

I've had two of these over the years, and neither one had the pressure gauge. Just wait for the light to go out, and it's ready to brew.

Yes, it will tell you the pressure. Just like using one at the gas station.

Don't know I use it for scuba diving. No pressure gauge. It is how ever 3000 psi so you could probably math from it

No, this model does not hold pressure. Good unit though. I have the same model that does, but its a fair amount more expensive.

I tried to buy a pressure sensor gauge my local store. It didn't work. I bought one from Amazon and it works pretty good. I would go to a dealer and find out exactly what you need.
