Mike those old gauges have a curved bourdon tube to accurately measure a specfic band of 0 - 30, 0 - 40, 0 - 50 psi. so if you are above range this will likely straighten the bourdon tube thus giving an inaccurate reading over time. Normal gauge readings at operating temperature should be 50% of maximum gauge reading. Example if it is a 0 to 100 psi. gauge then operating pressure should be in the 50 to 55 psi. This allows for higher pressure bumps when cold etc.
