Pressure Gauge

DCT Instruments' Model JG differential pressure gauge incorporates a transducer and a 4-digit display. As an in-process wet/wet differential pressure gauge, the hand-held gauge has a 0.2% accuracy over ranges from 1 to 10,000 psid, according to the company. It is available as a battery-powered unit or will operate on 110 AC or 11 to 32 VDC. The unit uses tactile feedback raised membrane buttons to control on/off, zero, tare, and allow the user to access high and low pressure readings, which are updated three times per second. The gauge come standard with ¼-18NPT male pressure ports, with adapters available for integration into existing systems; a NEMA 2 rating; and an operating temperature from 30° to 160° F. NEMA 4 is available and increases the temperature rating to 0° to 180° F. DCT Instruments, (+1) 800-328-1028

Broken Bag Detector

Bindicator's FloGuard particle flow detector has micro-controlled Tribo-Electric technology. Typically used to detect a broken bag in a dust collector, the unit can also be used to detect solids at the clean air exhaust of a cyclone, or it can be used as a flow/no-flow device in a chute. Digital technology allows the use of a floating reference point for temperature compensation. This means no loss of sensitivity or false alarms in applications with extreme temperature variations, according to the company. The detector features a 10-position sensitivity selection switch, which allows it to be used in most dry bulk materials. Bindicator, (+1) 864-574-8060
