Every Air Tools measurement location
requires a pressure port. The static pressure port
measures static pressure inside a pipe or duct. Static
pressure is especially useful because it is normally
very stable and easy to monitor. When there’s a problem,
static pressure increases or decreases depending on
whether the blockage is upstream or downstream from the
port. Seeing this change early allows operators to pause
ginning, go straight to the problem, fix it quickly and
resume ginning. Air Tools allows ginners to detect small
problems before they become large ones saving costly
down time.
The Static Pressure Port is made out
of power-coated cast iron making it durable and
economical. It consists of three pieces and can be
quickly installed from the outside of any round pipe or
rectangular duct.

- Drying system pipes
