From Paul's picture I would venture to say that his is glycerine filled.   :)

The TK2000 is notorious for destroying pressure gauges (glycerin filled).  When the blade breaks a pressure shock wave hammers the gauge, which can only handle a few of these events before failing.

Orifices are one type of snubber.  On pressure systems that have rapidly increasing or decreasing pressure spikes, orifices lessen the effects of these energy pulses by blocking the wave energy using restricted flow.  They are recommended in dynamic pressure applications with mild pressure spikes.  The snubber shown in the picture is a piston snubber designed to protect gauges from large pressure spikes.  The primary purpose of filling a pressure gauge with glycerin is to dampen the movement of the dial indicator in applications where vibration or pressure pulsation is an issue.

Paul, where did you get the snubber from? Also did you put it on after your gauge went out and got a new gauge or used the old one? Ricky

You can use a small needle valve as a snubber , close it and just crack it open, you may have to adjust it several times to get it just right. Frank C.

I got it off of eBay, NOSHOK #1325, paid about $12 including shipping.  I installed it along with a new gauge after my second gauge failed.

Wow.  Thanks for the good info.  I've only broken one blade so far.

That cost is less than all the gauges TK sent me when the mill was in warranty. ???

Did they warrant the gauge?  I think I'll rig me up a snubber thanks for the tip, GMM
