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.

Stud Sensors
-
Stud Sensors such as the MSV100 and MSV350D comprise a category of their own. Each uses electromagnetic induction to sense the presence of (and thereby locate) a stud, pipe, batten, current-carrying wire or other metallic object behind a wall or above a ceiling. The two instruments differ in their choice of the display technology (LED or LCD) used to pinpoint position.

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.

Waterproof Inspection Cameras
-
waterproof inspection cameras have waterproof probes, General's DCS6XX wet/dry cameras, the DCS600A, DCS605, DCS660A, DCS665 & the DCS665-ART, go one step further because their grips and monitors are also waterproof. This feature, unique in the industry, allows users to inspect toilets and water and sewer lines carrying running water without worrying about dropping and "dunking" the instrument.

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.

Wireless Inspection Cameras
-
General offers three wireless inspection cameras whose probes can be disconnected from the grip and monitor. They are the DCS18HPART (with a 6mm/0.23 in. diameter articulating probe), the DCS1800HP (with a 5.5mm/0.22 in. diameter non-articulating probe), and the DCS500 (with a 9mm/0.35 in. diameter probe and a 5 in. diagonal color LCD). Wireless inspection cameras offer operating flexibility because the user can use both hands to manipulate the probe.

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.

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.

Product
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.

Refrigerant Leak Detectors
-
refrigerant leak detectors use a proprietary semiconductor sensor to detect most commercially available HFC, HFO, HC, HCFC and CFC refrigerants. Our newest model, the RLD440 Refrigerant Leak Detector, goes one step further by complying with all five worldwide refrigerant detection testing standards
-
Product
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.
