Visual Smoke Indicators

Visual smoke indicators have been in use for over 50 years. Their design is simple and effective. They are still part of our product line today.

Visual smoke indicators provide a visual check of smoke density in the uptake of a boiler.

Visual/Photoelectric Smoke Indicator System

 Visual/Photoelectric Smoke Indicators are designed to operate in a rugged marine boiler room environment for continuous periods of time, with a minimum amount of maintenance.

The system consists of a lamp unit, a reflection unit, and vision unit, which enables the operator below deck to check on the smoke emission from the stack.

The photoelectric smoke meter displays the smoke density on a scale graduated from 0 to 100% (accurate to ±2% of smoke opacity). The panel lights give a clear indication of the zone in which the meter is operating.

6500 Smoke Meter

Used around the world by Private and Municipal Fleets, plus Regulatory Agencies

The Model 6500 Smoke (Opacity) Meter accurately detects, measures, and provides a visual read-out of the opacity of smoke emitted by diesel engines. In addition, it is an excellent indication of the combustion efficiency of the vehicle, encouraging maintenance for greater fuel efficiency.

The 6500 meter comes complete with a PC interface cable and software set, that allows the user to download stored test results to a PC for archiving or printing. You may print results on 8 1/2 x 11 letterhead with your company logo and address, to encourage repeat business from your customers.

The interface program also contains an easy to use ambient correction calculator to adjust opacity readings taken in higher elevations.

All Wager meters are designed and manufactured under the Robert H. Wager Company name only.
