Differential pressure is the difference in pressure in a dust collector from the “dirty side” to the “clean side.” Changes are typically an indication of changes in the condition of the filter bags, such as a bag leak or rupture, or an indication that the cleaning system is not functioning properly.
Differential Pressure is measured using a variety of pressure gauges, such as U-Tube Manometers, Magnehelic® gauges, and Photohelic® gauges, all of which the Micronics Engineered Filtration Group stocks for its OEM baghouse partners and their customers.
