(Allow tosit overnight, if possible.4Remove sun shields and suspendgauge in such a way that the stems are vertical and areimmersed two to two and a half inches into the water.Simultaneously, suspend the mercury thermometer inthe water to an equal depth.5Record the mercury thermometerand gauge temperature after five minutes. Allow anadditional five minutes to pass and record temperaturesagain. Repeat until temperatures stabilize.6Fill a container with ice cubes orcrushed ice and water.7Place the gauge with stems verticalinto the ice-water approximately two to two and a halfinches. Simultaneously, immerse the mercurythermometer to the same depth.8Record the mercury thermometerand gauge temperature after five minutes. Allow anadditional five minutes to pass and record temperaturesagain. Repeat until temperatures stabilize.(b)Replacement criteria. Gauges mustagree with the mercury thermometer within two degreesat both test points. Failure to meet either test pointwithin two degrees is cause for rejection.(3)Temperature Conversion. To convertFahrenheit to centigrade or centigrade to Fahrenheit,use table 4-13 or the following conversion formulas.C = (5/9) x (F-32)F = [(9/5) x C] + 32Example: change 86 °FExample: change 40Cto Centigradeto FahrenheitC = (5/9) x (F-32)F = [(9/5 x C] + 32C = .5556 x (86-32)F = (1. 8 x 40) + 32C = .5556 x (54)F = 72 + 32C = 300F = 104n.Deleted.o.MagneticCompass. The magnetic compass, asshown in figure 4-19, consists of liquid-filled bowlcontaining a pivoted float element to which one or morebar magnets, called needles, are fastened. The liquiddampens the oscillations of the float and decreases thefriction of the pivot. A diaphragm and a vent provide forexpansion and contraction of the liquid as altitude andtemperature change. Principles of operation, compasserrors, compass compensation, and replacement criteriaare described by the following paragraphs.Table 4-13.
