    Differential Pressure and Vacuum Gauges with Digital Display

    Gauges have a four-digit LCD display for easy reading of measurements. Commonly used to indicate clogged filters, these gauges display the difference between two pressure or vacuum measurements. They are also known as compound gauges.

    Differential Pressure Transmitters for Liquids

    Used with pumps, cooling systems, and other liquid applications, these transmitters remotely measure the difference in pressure between two inputs. They are also known as transducers. These transmitters convert differential pressure to an electrical signal that can be interpreted by receiving devices, such as remote displays, programmable logic controllers, and motor speed controls to monitor pressure or control equipment. You’ll often see them used to indicate a filter is clogged.
    For your receiving device to interpret the signal from the transmitter, you will need to calibrate it for the transmitter's differential pressure range and output signal. Transmitters will only provide accurate readings within the rated pressure range. Connect them using two wires. The same wire is used to send a signal to the receiver and to power the transmitter. Current doesn’t lose signal over long distances and isn’t affected by electrical interference from other devices.

    Pressure Recording Film

    Create an instant, permanent image of pressure distribution and magnitude. These sheets of film help you identify uneven pressure that can lead to leaks and stress fractures. Use them between any two surfaces that touch each other, such as bolted joints, welding fixtures, and jigs. Tiny capsules within the film burst at specific pressure levels, causing the film to change color. This produces an instant map of pressure variation, similar to a heat map. For a custom size, cut the film with scissors.

    Compact Compressed Air Regulators

    A lower profile than our other compressed air regulators makes these regulators a better fit in tight spots. Use them to adjust and maintain the pressure of your compressed air. Install them in your air line after filters.

    Best for measuring liquid levels in applications where traditional mounting is difficult, these transmitters sit at the bottom of your tank. They sense liquid levels by measuring the pressure from the weight of the liquid above them. These transmitters continuously send measurements, so you can monitor the status and manage components in your system. Also known as level loggers, level sensors, and pressure transducers.
    For Liquids with Solids—Transmitters for liquids with solids have sink weights that keep the transmitter in place in applications with moving solids or agitated liquids.
