Anemometers
-
Anemometer-Thermometer with Excel-formatted Data Logging SD Card and "K/J" Port accurately measures and logs speed and temperature of low-speed airflows in ducts, vents and other tight spaces.

Tachometers/Torque Meters
-
Tachometers measure rotational or linear speed and come in two styles: contact and non-contact. Contact models come with various rubber/plastic adapters for interfacing the instrument’s shaft with the surface of the spinning or moving surface under test. Non-contact models come with reflective tape that is placed on the surface to become the target of the instrument’s low-power laser.

Articulating Inspection Cameras
-
Articulating Inspection Cameras with probes whose tips can be precisely turned (articulated) by the user up to 150 in two directions. Articulation enables inspection of targets located off-axis (even "behind" the probe) or in a tight space without removing the probe. The Inspection Cameras currently offered include the DCS16HPART, its wireless cousin the DCS18HPART, and the DCS665-ART Articulating Inspection Cameras.

Pressure Meters
-
General's line of pressure meters and manometers. The top-of-the-line pressure meter is the data logging PM930SD Pressure Meter, which can measure up to 400 bar (5800 psi) when mated with an optional sensor. By comparison, the measurement range of the DM82XX family of manometers tops out at 100 psi. Also in this sub-category are the GPKXXX family of analog gas pressure test kits and the analog HG15 Hydrogage Manometer.

Stud Sensors
-
Stud Sensors such as the MSV100 and MSV350D comprise a category of their own. Each uses electromagnetic induction to sense the presence of (and thereby locate) a stud, pipe, batten, current-carrying wire or other metallic object behind a wall or above a ceiling. The two instruments differ in their choice of the display technology (LED or LCD) used to pinpoint position.

Wireless Inspection Cameras
-
General offers three wireless inspection cameras whose probes can be disconnected from the grip and monitor. They are the DCS18HPART (with a 6mm/0.23 in. diameter articulating probe), the DCS1800HP (with a 5.5mm/0.22 in. diameter non-articulating probe), and the DCS500 (with a 9mm/0.35 in. diameter probe and a 5 in. diagonal color LCD). Wireless inspection cameras offer operating flexibility because the user can use both hands to manipulate the probe.

Combustible Gas Detectors
-
A leak of natural gas (methane), propane or butane can cause an explosion in a basement with a sloppily installed unit as easily as it can in a coal mine. General sells these life-saving combustible gas detectors in various shapes and sizes, including pens and wands with a probe. Two models, the NGD268 & PNGD170 Combustible Gas Detectors even work from -40 to 158F, the extreme environment typical of mines and tunnel construction.

Indoor/Outdoor Panel Meters
-
Indoor/Outdoor Panel Meters that can measure, display and compare two temperatures on the same screen have very specific applications. One is comparing the indoor temperature to the temperature sensed by a probe placed under a window. Another is showing how cold it is inside a refrigerated display case, relative to the temperature inside the convenience store or supermarket.

Industrial Inspection Cameras
-
Industrial Inspection Cameras are our top-of-the-line inspection cameras. They feature glass lenses, superior optics, crystal-clear displays, and compatibility with the thinnest probes on the market. All Industrial Inspection Cameras were recently upgraded to capture VGA (640 x 480 pixel) resolution video clips and remove glare and reflections from them. All cameras in this sub-category are made in Taiwan, making them compliant with the Trade Agreements Act (TAA) of 1979a necessity for many buyers with the U.S. military and federal agencies.

Temperature/Humidity Monitors
-
Together, an environment's temperature and relative humidity (RH) indicate how comfortable it "feels" to humans. General sells a variety of temperature/humidity monitors that either show real-time readings like the A600FC High Temperature Analog Humidity-Temperature Meter or log measurements over time for trending purposes such as the HT50 USB Temperature-Humidity Data Logger. Trend analysis is the rationale for another popular application for temperature/RH monitors - water damage restoration.

Weather Detection Systems
-
General offers weather detection systems that use a base station to display inputs received wirelessly from remote sensors. The RGR150 can track rainfall amounts as well as temperature and/or relative humidity. WS821 & WS831DL Weather Detection Systems are full-featured wireless weather stations that add wind speed readings and track trends in barometric pressure that can serve as the basis of a short-term weather forecast. Barometric pressure is also available from a dedicated wireless station (the DBAR880), and the original weather forecasterthe ABAR300 Analog Barometer.

Psychrometers
-
All psychrometers derive an environment's wet-bulb and dew point temperatures from a precise measurement of relative humidity. The original psychrometer had two thermometers mounted together with a handle attached on a chain. One thermometer was ordinary. The other had a cloth wick over its bulb and was called a wet-bulb. New, digital versionslike General's EP870X family improve on this basic design, offer HVAC technicians a better tool for recharging the refrigerant of a residential or commercial A/C system.
