During a safety test of a hyperbaric chamber, the internal pressure is estimated to reach 18 bar18\text{ bar}18 bar.

The technician has a choice of four analog pressure gauges, G1G_1G1​, G2G_2G2​, G3G_3G3​, and G4G_4G4​, with different ranges as shown below:

  • Gauge G1G_1G1​: range 0 to 5 bar0\text{ to }5\text{ bar}0 to 5 bar
  • Gauge G2G_2G2​: range 0 to 15 bar0\text{ to }15\text{ bar}0 to 15 bar
  • Gauge G3G_3G3​: range 0 to 30 bar0\text{ to }30\text{ bar}0 to 30 bar
  • Gauge G4G_4G4​: range 0 to 150 bar0\text{ to }150\text{ bar}0 to 150 bar

Four pressure gauges labeled G1, G2, G3, and G4 with different ranges.

Which pressure gauge should the technician use to measure a pressure of 18 bar18\text{ bar}18 bar accurately? Explain your choice.
