Pressure gage: Wika releases new digital display gage

By Control Engineering Staff November 22, 2007


Wika has released its new DG-10 digital display gage
. The company says the new design is ideal for applications requiring a local, battery-operated measurement and display instrument capable of delivering accuracy, reliability and durability.

Built with a rugged stainless steel housing and standard AA battery power, the DG-10 is reportedly suitable for a wide range of applications where an intermittent display is required, including hydraulics, pneumatics, pumps, compressors, and test benches. For situations where a continuous display is required, other designs are better suited.

The standard DG-10 includes a multifunction LCD-display with a bar graph, featuring a drag pointer function and a min/max memory. Users can switch between measurement units including bar, psi and MPa.

An enhanced version includes the same features while adding 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 enhanced model include auto power-off, tare function, and password protection.
