Abstract

A pressure gauge having a rotatably secured Bourdon tube, and a dial plate arcuately displaceable for effecting zero calibration of the gauge includes a rotationally presettable key for registered placement within a key-slotted receptacle in which the gauge is to be utilized. Keying is provided by a simulated Y-shaped washer mounted in an annular groove on the gauge stem and arcuately secured post-calibration at a predetermined angular setting from a reference point on the gauge dial.
