Owner Name ____________________________________________________ Date ____________

Make and Model of Pressure Canner*: ________________________________*Note: Presto Industries recommends testing only National, Magic Seal, Maid of Honor, and Presto gauges using the Presto testing unit.

Condition of Gauge*: ___ Good ___Rusty ___Broken, cracked ___Interior moistureIf condition is other than ‘Good’, contact Presto Industries 715-839-2030 to discuss whether a replacement is warranted. UWEX county offices should only test gauges in ‘Good’ condition.

Test ResultsMaster gauge registers: 6 psi 11 psi 15 psi

Your gauge registers: ______ ______ ______

Recommendations:If your gauge reads high or low by two (2) pounds (psi) or less, and it is in good condition, you may use it provided you follow the following recommendation (check one):

If your gauge reads up to two (2) pounds higher than the master gauge, you must add the amount of difference to the required pressure so you don’t under-process your food.

For example, if the MASTER gauge reads 11 psi and your gauge reads 12 psi (1 pound higher than the master gauge), process at 12 psi when the instructions say 11 psi, or 7 psi when the instructions say 6 psi, etc.

If your gauge reads up to two (2) pounds lower than the master gauge, you may subtract the same amount it differs from the required pressure. (In this case you may also use the pressure stated in the instructions for added safety.)

For example, if the MASTER gauge reads 11 psi and your gauge reads 10 psi (1 pound lower than the master gauge), you may process at 10 psi when the instructions say 11 psi, or 5 psi when the instructions say 6 psi, etc.

If your gauge reads high or low by more than two (2) pounds (psi), replace.

If your gauge is in poor condition (rusty, broken/cracked/heavily scratched, or has interior moisture), UWEX recommends replacement.* See note above with Presto Industries phone number to discuss gauge replacement.
