Water Quality Test Kits
The range of model shapes, sizes and capabilities of water quality test kits reflects the diversity of potential end users, who could just as easily work for a small laboratory as for a giant water treatment plant. The simplest water test kits are pocket-sized and measure only one water-quality parameter, such as pH or conductivity. A step above these water test kits are test kits able to measure multiple parameters, including total dissolved solids and dissolved oxygen. A bit higher up the price-performance curve are industrial-quality handheld water test kits that measure one or multiple parameters, and may even log the readings to enable trend analysis.

Sound Level Meters
Real-time applications for our sound level meters include sound-system setups, music recording, and measurement of the noise produced by a machine or vehicle or typical of an environment. Data logging sound level meters such as our DSM402SD, DSM403SD and DSM20 provide the documentation needed to prove compliance with regulatory limits on noise exposure in public and at work.

Harness Testers/Thickness Gauge
Our Hardness Testers/Thickness Gauges includes premium models such as the EMHT40, UTEMHT20 and UTEGEMTT2. These testers are precision instruments designed to measure the thickness or hardness of most metals. Two cost effective units - FHT801 and FHT803 are tailored to agricultural applications such as checking the ripeness of fruits and vegetables in fields/warehouses.

Moisture Meters
Moisture Meters fall into two categories, pin-type and pinless. Pin-type Moisture Meters measure the resistance between test pins inserted into a piece of wood or a building material and use that reading as a proxy for the object''s absolute moisture level. The wetter the material, the less ready it is to be sanded, painted, finished or covered. A best seller is the MMD4E Pin-Type Moisture Meter. Pinless Moisture Meters rely on the ability of moisture to inductively distort an electric field cre...show more -

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.

Pipe & Duct Inspection Cameras
Pipe & Duct Inspection Camera are video inspection cameras with a probe long enough (roughly 70 ft.) to locate and identify an obstruction in a water or sewer line or HVAC duct by taking close-up video clips and photos of it. The P16PIP probe (also available separately) that comes with the DPS16 Pipe & Duct Inspection Camera has better camera lighting and optics and slightly better resistance to water than the P610-20PR probe that attaches to a recording or non-recording wet/dry inspection camera console.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Thermocouple Thermometers
These industrial instruments’ claim to fame is their accuracy. General offers a wide variety of thermocouple thermometers distinguished by features such as the number of independent channels supported (from one to twelve) –such as the DT4208SD 12 Channel ThermoCouple Thermometer, ruggedness (the ability to survive a fall) – such as the Rugged DT62 Two Channel Thermocouple Thermometer, compatibility with one or more thermocouple types – such as the DT80-2 Two Channel “K” & “J” Thermocouple Thermometer, and data logging capability – such as the DT4947SD 4 Channel Thermocouple Thermometer with Excel Formatted Data Logging SD Card. Our portfolio of thermocouple probes is just as extensive.

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.

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.

Waterproof Inspection Cameras
waterproof inspection cameras have waterproof probes, General's DCS6XX wet/dry cameras, the DCS600A, DCS605, DCS660A, DCS665 & the DCS665-ART, go one step further because their grips and monitors are also waterproof. This feature, unique in the industry, allows users to inspect toilets and water and sewer lines carrying running water without worrying about dropping and "dunking" the instrument.
