Further investigation determined that this 600 psi ranged pressure gauge was initially installed to facilitate the low pressure commissioning of this 1337 maximum operating pressure (mop) pipeline and was to have been removed post commissioning but was inadvertently left in place. Post event this pressure gauge was removed and not replaced.
