Inaccurate mechanical pressure gauges go
digital!
A range of battery-powered digital pressure gauges has been launched in the UK, which offer customers an ideal replacement for their existing, less accurate mechanical gauges
The 'Baroli' range of digital pressure gauges is available through UK-based sensor manufacturer Impress Sensors and Systems, on an ex-stock basis, delivered on a next-day delivery if the customer requires The gauges are targeted at hydraulics, pneumatics and general mechanical engineering applications, including process manufacturing companies, marine, laboratory/R+D, production systems and automation

DP switch, display and transmitter
The DMD 341 differential pressure device offers differential pressure measurement combined with a DP sensor, 4 digit display, up to 2 switch outputs and an analogue output
Electronic pressure switch is fully configurable
Microprocessor based switching electronics offer standard pressure switch functions plus advantages of fully programmability, options of 1 or 2 switch points with LEDs plus a 1-5V 3-wire output
The gauge comes in two main versions: a standard pressure gauge with an integrated piezoresistive, stainless steel sensor, which has an accuracy of +/- 0.125% FS BFSL (full-scale, best-fit straight line).
Or alternatively, customers can opt for a low cost version with an integrated ceramic sensor, which has an accuracy of +/- 0.25% FS BFSL.
Both versions come in a rugged, IP65 polycarbonate housing.

The x-act pressure transmitter from Impress Sensors and Systems has been designed for use in the process, food and dairy, pharmaceutical and petrochemical industries
DS400 Multifunctional pressure transmitter/display
The DS400 pressure transmitter and display incorporates an award-winning, stainless steel globe housing, 2 PNP switch contacts and is designed to be ATEX approved for use in a hazardous area!
Both versions are designed to be fitted easily and quickly in-situ.
The LCD display can be rotated continuously independent of the housing, providing the engineer with clear sight of the digital display at all times, regardless of the mounting configuration.
The housing itself rotates 270 degrees about the horizontal axis.
The device is operated through a simple, menu-driven display via three push buttons on a touchpad.
As well as showing information about the nominal pressure range, the unit can be adjusted by the user for maximum and minimum pressures of the process.
Users can also choose which units of measurement they prefer, including bar, mbar, PSI, mWs, inHg, cmHg, mmHg, kPa and MPa.
The 4.5-digit LCD shows measured values at a digit height of 11mm and the user can also set the position of the decimal point.
Sam Drury, Sales Director at Impress Sensors and Systems comments: "We are delighted to be able to offer the Baroli gauges to our customers in the UK on an ex-stock basis.
The gauges are ideal for customers who want to replace their existing mechanical pressure gauges with a more accurate and reliable digital pressure gauge".
Nominal pressure range for the low cost ceramic gauges are from 1.6 bar up to 400 bar.
For the stainless steel version, nominal pressures are from 0.1 bar up to 600 bar.
The gauges weigh approximately 300g and the operational life of the battery is approximately five years in standby mode.
The units are fixed into position using standard G1/2", G1/4" (EN837), 1/2" and 1/4" thread connections (NPT).
