3 Ways DR3720 Transformed Our Monitoring

In our laboratory setting, we encountered a mysterious issue with one of our hydraulic presses. The press was cycling slower than expected, yet the gauge indicated normal pressure levels. This inconsistency pointed to a deeper problem that required immediate attention.

Low-pressure analog gauges use a delicate movement based on a pivot point, which can introduce significant friction and resolution issues below 100 mbar. As HSE Officer, it became clear that this friction was masking real fluctuations in pressure that could impact our critical monitoring tasks.

Our investigation led us to suspect hidden pressures affecting the operation of the hydraulic press. After thorough testing with various gauges, we identified a consistent discrepancy: the readings from our analog gauge were not as reliable as they needed to be. This led us to consider upgrading to more precise digital solutions.

We installed the DR3720 Digital Pressure Gauge, which boasts high accuracy measurement down to 1 mbar resolution and no moving parts in its solid-state sensor design. The results were immediate and profound. We saw a significant improvement in consistency and reliability of pressure measurements, ensuring that our operations ran smoother and safer than ever before.

Key Specifications

• High accuracy measurement (mbar resolution)
• Stainless steel housing for harsh environments
• Large backlit LCD display
• Peak-hold function for capturing max pressure
• Multiple units: MPa/PSI/Kgf/cm²/bar/KPa/Pa/mbar/inH₂O/mmHg/Torr/ATM
