The local WSU Extension Office in Elma is available to test pressure canner gauges. Only “dial” type gauges can be tested, and it is suggested that gauges be checked every year.

There is a $2 fee per gauge and the owner of the pressure canner is required to sign a release form. The Extension Office is located on the Grays Harbor County Fairgrounds at the east end of the Pavilion parking lot 32, Elma-McCleary Road.

Phone 360-482-2934 or email suesparkman@wsu.edu to schedule an appointment.
