Pressure Canner Gauge Testing Clinic

For those who need their dial gauges tested, Clark County Master Food Preservers are here to help. We are having drive-through testing on several days over the next several weeks. While you remain in the comfort of your car, we will be testing your gauge.

In order to limit exposure, both the person doing the testing and the person(s) in car must be wearing masks. The gauge and all test equipment will be sanitized between cars. As always, if you are not feeling well please stay home and choose another day to come in for testing.

We hope to see you on one of the following days:
Tuesday September 1st 10:00 am – 1:00 pm
Saturday September 19th 10:00 am – 1:00 pm
Thursday October 1st 3:00 pm – 6:00 pm
Saturday October 10th 10:00 am – 1:00 pm

Bring your canning lid with dial gauge, rubber gasket/ring and safety plug. Note that pressure gauges on All American brand pressure canners must be taken off the lid prior to arrival for testing. Our test unit cannot test these gauges while they are attached to the lid. All others may stay attached to the lid.
