Claim 0:
1. A pressure gauge with integrated relief valve configured to measure and to relieve fluid within a fluid-containing structure, said integrated pressure gauge relief valve comprising:
a housing having a first end and a second end and having an inner surface defining a passage between said first end and said second end;
a movable element movable within said passage;
wherein:
said housing first end is configured to be coupled with a fluid-containing structure;
said housing second end is spaced from said housing first end; and
said movable element is movable with respect to said housing to indicate pressure therein and to allow fluid to pass between the movable element and said inner surface of said passage at a selected pressure; and
said movable element has a first side facing toward the fluid-containing structure and aligned with an inner surface of a wall of the fluid-containing structure to which said integrated pressure gauge relief valve is coupled thereby eliminating creation of a dead region between the passage and the fluid-containing structure to minimize collection of fluid flow.
