ABSTRACT:
A device for monitoring the condition of a filter element, comprising a combined clamping nut and differential pressure indicator. The body of the device is non-circular about an axis to facilitate its use as a wingnut, and has an outer surface and an inner surface through which passes an axial orifice, internally threaded to engage a threaded mounting rod. A differential pressure responsive device of novel design, including a slack diaphragm and an air-permeable translucent screen, is mounted in a further orifice in the outer surface for exposure of one side of the diaphragm to the pressure outside the filter, and a passage in the body connects the further aperture with the inner surface to supply to the other side of the pressure responsive device the pressure within the filter. The combination of such an arrangement with an air cleaner having a safety filter is also a part of the invention, as is the method of monitoring the filter conditions which the structure makes possible.
