Handheld digital manometer for wet/wet applications.
From the manufacturer's website:
SERIES 490 DIGITAL MANOMETERS are versatile, hand-held, battery operated manometers available in several basic ranges for positive or positive differential pressure measurement and can tolerate most liquid media compatible with 316LSS. A memory function allows storage of up to 40 readings for later recall and a backlight provides auxiliary lighting for hard-to-see locations. Standard are a hold feature and both visual and audible overpressure alarms. A new feature added to the Series 490 is a field adjustable damping. This allows the user to choose the level of display averaging rate corresponding to the fluctuation level common in many applications. A 9V alkaline battery is included that provides up to 100 hours of operation.

3 Experimental Setups
3.1 Unidirectional, sediment-feed, tilting flume of the University of South Carolina at Columbia
This setup uses the Dwyer 490-1 to measure the pressure difference across an orifice plate, to determine the calibrated flow rate in the system.
