Clogging Indicators
EVOTEK Clogging Indicators
Technical Specifications
Depending on the type of filter, vacuum, return line or differential pressure clogging indicators
are used.
These type of devices can be provided with a visual, electrical or both signals.
Return line and suction indicators
These are used for return line and suction filters. In return line filters they react to the increasing
static pressure before the filter element, and in suction filters to the decreasing pressure after
the filter element, which is caused by increasing contamination.
Differential pressure indicators
Differential pressure indicators operate by sensing the differential pressure between ports
upstream and downstream of the filter element.
These are used for all inline filters and react to the increasing pressure differential caused by
increasing contamination of the filter element.
Product Description
• Clogging indicators are designed to indicate
visually and/or electrically when the filter
elements must be cleaned or changed.
• Clogging indicators measure the pressure
drop through the filter element directly
connected to the filter housing
• Indicate when the filter element is becoming
blocked and needs to be changed.
