A tester's low-side gauge port becomes plugged with mineral deposits during testing. The immediate effect on a differential pressure reading will be:
-
A
An artificially high differential reading because low-side pressure cannot transmit to the gauge
-
B
An artificially low differential reading because upstream pressure is reduced
-
C
No change because the high side dominates the reading
-
D
The gauge needle will pin at zero and remain unresponsive
