Product Overview
What It Is
Cameron BARTON chart recorders are mechanical instruments for the continuous measurement and recording of pressure, differential pressure (DP), and temperature on 12-inch or 8-inch circular charts. All models use precision wound mechanical elements, stainless steel recording mechanisms, and NUFLO™ wood-free, low-shrinkage chart paper for reliable, accurate process records.
Who Uses It
Commonly specified by instrumentation engineers, process engineers, pipeline operators, and facility managers in oil & gas, gas transmission, petrochemical, water utilities, and offshore industries. Procurement teams across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Qatar, Kuwait, Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Egypt, Tanzania and Ghana rely on BARTON recorders for field instrumentation projects.
Where It Is Used
Designed for gas transmission and distribution pipelines, wellheads, sour gas facilities (NACE model), offshore platforms, refineries, water distribution networks, and industrial process plants. Suitable for indoor control panels and outdoor field installations — with optional stainless steel or offshore-coated cases for harsh, saltwater environments.
