Based on temp it seems like the resting/static pressure gives a decent indication of freon level. There are no charts for it, but if you check things for awhile and keep your data, it seems to show an indication.
Now, it isn't necessary as you are going to check running pressures if you hook up your gauges in the first place, but just saying that it appears to be indicative of charge level. [a course indication, not a fine indication]
With temps at or near 100, with R134a, a high side of 300 is not outta the question, even with appropriate charge. That is why R134a is so hard on the system when it is really hot.......
BTW, you measure 36ozs by putting in 3 12oz cans......
