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.

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.

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.

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.

WiFi Inspection Cameras
WiFi Inspection Cameras generates a local WiFi hotspot (without Internet access) through which video clips and still photos of hard-to-reach or hard-to-see areas or equipment captured by the probe camera can be sent to an app-enabled smartphone or tablet for viewing and sharing. Free apps for iOS devices (iPhones or iPads) and Android devices are available from the iTunes App Store and Google Play Store, respectively. The three WiFi cameras differ in probe length, camera lighting and grip style.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
