5.A clean piece of PTFE should now be placed over the gauge. A thin piece 1/8" to 1/4" of silicon rubber and metal back plate should be placed over the PTFE and a pressure of 15-50 psi applied, using spring clamps or deadweight. The rubber pad will ensure uniform distribution of the clamping pressure.

6.The clamped installation should be heated slowly to cure temperature at approximately 10 degrees Celsius per minute and cured as detailed in the Curing Cycle.

7.If post curing is required the clamps should be removed from the gauge installation and post cured at 30 degrees Celsius above maximum temperature or curing temperature, whichever is greater, for 2 hours.
