Change Is Coming To Cecomp Gauges

 

We are making some changes to our Cecomp Pressure Gauge product lines. Customers should be converted as soon as possible, and the last day to purchase the affected products will be April 1^st, 2024. The purpose is to make the product lines more consistent and improve production efficiency. By doing this we should be able to delay any price increases for 2024.

 

1. DPG1000B, F4B, DPG1000AD, F4AD  4-digit only:  
   4-digit 3000PSIG & 5000PSIG ranges will be discontinued. These models will only be offered with the 3-1/2-digit display in ranges up to 2000 (1999).
   Use the F16B, F16BN, F16AD, and F16ADN series as direct replacements.
2. DPG1000B, F4B, DPG1000AD, F4AD, DPG1000L, F4L, DPG1000DR, and F4DR, DPG2000B (non -D4) with -HA option:  
   The -HA (high accuracy) option will be discontinued for these models. The potentiometer-based design makes them more labor intensive to calibrate in production. High accuracy calibration is better done with our microprocessor-based gauges.
   Use F16B, F16BN, F16AD, and F16ADN, F16L or F16LSC, F16LN or F16LSCN, F16DR, F16DRN, or DPG2000B-D4 as direct replacements.
3. DPG1000L, F4L, DPG1000DR, and F4DR +/- ranges only:  
   Transmitters with bipolar (+/-) vacuum/pressure ranges will be discontinued for these models. The potentiometer-based design makes them more labor intensive to calibrate in production. Calibration of the display and the output is better done with our microprocessor-based gauges.
   Use F16L or F16LSC, F16LN or F16LSCN, F16DR, F16DRN as direct replacements.

Matt Joseph, a veteran restorer and a noted author of hundreds of articles and books, is using our DPG1000B gauge on his Soda Blasting machine.

"When I need the highest order of digital accuracy for measuring air pressure, I rely on my Cecomp digital pressure gauge. Analog measurement may be fine for a "quick glance" check of non-critical applications, but when precision is an issue, great digital gauges easily justify their cost."

Larry Dixon on the Cecomp TestPLUS Digital Pressure Gauge

Under the low pressure conditions that half your dragster tires are running, even a tenth of a pound (or 0.1 PSI) can make a huge difference.
Analog gauges just aren't accurate enough to give you reliable pressure readings within 0.1 PSI.
Read more about analog vs. digital gauges here.

In our latest You Tube video, 3-time National Hot Rod Association NHRA champion Larry Dixon gives some tire tips to dragsters who want to improve their game.

Many thanks to Larry Dixon for making this video!
