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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

IAQ Meters
General offers five indoor air quality (IAQ) instruments that measure and track four key IAQ parameters: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and two toxic gasesformaldehyde and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The last two substances have made news lately for their ubiquity, invisibility and toxicity.

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 -

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.

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.

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.

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.
