Pressure Measurement & Control


The DG-10 digital display gauge

January 2008 Pressure Measurement & Control

Electronic pressure measurement with local display is desirable in many areas of machine building and equipment engineering, in hydraulic and pneumatic applications and also for general service test bench operations. WIKA has introduced a new solution for battery operated measurement and display instruments.

The DG-10 is housed in a robust stainless-steel case and is available in two configurations: standard (DG-10-S) and enhanced (DG-10-E).

As standard in the DG-10-S are graduated measuring ranges from 2 to 600 bar. The user can easily switch between the most widely-accepted international measurement units; bar, psi and MPa. The multifunction display features a bargraph with a drag pointer function as well as a MIN/MAX memory. The power is supplied by a standard type AA battery.

Additional features of the enhanced version include a back-lit display for use in low light conditions and a housing that can be rotated for optimal viewing. Additional user-programmable functions of the DG-10-E include auto power-off, tare function, and password protection.
