MODULAR FILTER INDICATORS
Our filter indicators can mount directly onto a filter head or be piped to remotely. Their interchangeable parts allow for different ranges, electrical options, and more. Engineers use them to help inform operators what the status of their filter system is.
PRECISION Differential GAUGES
These gauges are used in applications such as filtration, cryogenic level, flow measurement, and much more. The precision differential pressure gauges are trusted by thousands of manufacturers around the world.
KITS AND LAB EQUIPMENT
For backflow testings and portable flow monitoring kits. These specially designed pieces of equipment are engineered to be the best in the industry. We can design a custom case, includes hoses and fittings, and just about anything else to make the gauge ideal for your application
Differential Pressure Gauge Applications
Differential pressure gauges are some of the most underutilized and misunderstood products in manufacturing. As a result of a near complete lack of mention from engineering eduction, we see engineers constantly using two standard pressure gauges, when they could just use one differential pressure gauge. From applications involving filtration system, measuring flow rates using the Bernoulli Principle, displaying liquid levels in cryogenic tanks, detecting leaks in systems, and so much more, these capable instruments should be part of every engineer’s toolbox.
What is a Differential Pressure Gauge
Simply put, a differential pressure gauge measures the difference in pressure between two connections. Let’s imagine an application where you have a tank at 100 psi and another at 95 psi. If you connect a differential pressure gauge between those two tanks, you will read 5 psi.
There are a few different gauge designs to achieve this. Differential Pressure Plus utilizes a design known as a “Magnetic Coupling.” Each gauge has a magnetic piston that moves back and forth like a sea-saw depending on the differential pressure. As a result, the linear movement of this magnetic piston pushes and pulls on a rotary magnet that connects to the pointer. This “magnetic rack and pinion” provide the readout.
Monitoring Filters
As filter cartridges get clogged, the differential pressure between the inlet and outlet increases. This is a result of the buildup of contaminants in the filter mesh. Operators can measure a differential pressure drop across a filter and can get a visual indication about how dirty their filter systems are. As a result, using a differential pressure gauges for a filter application can:
- Help operators prevent damage to their system because they stay informed of filter status.
- Prevent legal issues between filter manufacturers and customers who over exert the life of their filters and misuse the systems
- Increase filter cartridge sales by 20-30% by helping customers stay informed of the filter’s status
- Help distinguish your filter from the 1,000’s of competitors out there
The New Purigauge
PURIGAUGE is the ideal way to monitor home water filter systems. By connecting the upstream side of your filter to the high pressure port and the downstream to the low port, you can get a clear view of the status of your filter cartridge. The integrated John Guest 1/4″ push connect fittings allow for quick plumbing and provide technicians with more installation options than any other gauge on the market! This simple yet effective differential pressure gauge, provides end users with an affordable option to maintain their systems. Also, if you are an OEM, we offer special high volume packaging and pricing options! Email us today to learn more.
