When you need to track pressure changes in demanding environments, the Dickson PW474 Pressure Chart Recorder delivers reliable performance you can count on. This compact device provides a written record of pressure fluctuations that's essential for maintaining system integrity and preventing costly failures.
The PW474 features a durable velox PBT NEMA 4x-rated case that stands up to corrosion, windblown dust and rain, splashing water, and even hose-directed water. This rugged protection ensures your pressure recordings stay accurate no matter where you deploy the recorder - whether it's monitoring outdoor gas lines, tracking steam pressure in industrial settings, or documenting water treatment processes.
With a 4-inch circular chart that records pressure up to 200 PSI, this recorder provides clear, visual documentation of pressure changes over time. Choose between 24-hour or 7-day recording periods to match your monitoring needs, making it perfect for both short-term investigations and ongoing system surveillance.
Battery operation makes this recorder incredibly versatile and easy to deploy anywhere needed. A single AA battery powers the device for up to one year of operation, while the convenient on/off switch helps conserve battery life when monitoring isn't required. The battery holder located inside the weather-resistant door allows for quick, hassle-free battery changes without compromising the unit's protective seals.
Water treatment facilities rely on these recorders to document system pressure and ensure water quality standards are met. Gas and steam monitoring professionals use them to detect leaks before they become major issues. Water well operators depend on them to accurately measure flow rates and pressure variations. These recorders provide the hard data needed to make informed decisions about system maintenance and operational efficiency.
While designed for demanding environments, it's important to note that these pressure recorders are not suitable for monitoring ammonia, acids, or other corrosive substances. For those applications, specialized equipment would be required to ensure accurate readings and equipment longevity.
Whether you're troubleshooting system issues, documenting pressure trends for compliance purposes, or simply keeping tabs on critical infrastructure, the Dickson PW474 delivers the reliable pressure monitoring solution you need in a compact, portable package that keeps working where other equipment might fail.
