1.01 This manual provides installation, opera-
tion and maintenance instructions for the
GMGA Mud Pump Pressure Gage and GM4
Compound Pressure Gage systems manufactured
by MARTIN-DECKER, Santa Ana, California.
2.00 DESCRIPTION
2.01 The mud pump and compound pressure
gage system are designed for mud
pressure, cementing, acidizing, or fracturing
pressure indications. The systems operate in
the temperature range of -50” to +I 50°F
(-45.6” to +65. SC). Accuracy of the systems
is plus or minus 1.0% of full scale indication.
for longer movement life and damping out
of most rig vibrations. The gage receives its
signals, from the diaphragm protector, through
the hose and damper (that smoothes the pointer
movement).
2.05 Vernier Reading. The GAGOA and GA112
compound pressure gages (on GM4 and
GM4P systems only) have a 4: 1 vernier reading
for resolution of pressure change readings. The
vernier pointer makes four complete revolutions
for full capacity of the gage, giving four times
more resolution for the same pressure change.
Total pressure is read at the inner dial, fine
measurement is indicated by the outer dial.

2.02 System Component Description. The mud 2.06 Diaphragm Gage Protector. The pro-
pump and compound pressure gage systems tector is equipped with a diaphragm which
consist of the components shown in Table 2-l and separates drilling mud from the hydraulic fluid,
