The Barton Model 242E is a field recorder designed for continuous pressure recording on a 12-inch (300 mm) circular chart. This configuration measures 0–2,500 psi and records pressure continuously on the same chart. The single red pen traces pressure across the chart, providing a clear and easy-to-interpret record for pressure-only applications where temperature measurement is not required.

The mechanical chart drive rotates the chart over 24 hours or 7 days without batteries or external power, making it suitable for remote wellsites and unmanned stations. Inside the die-cast aluminium case, stainless steel linkage and robust construction provide good linearity, low hysteresis and long service life. Disposable felt-tip pens simplify chart changes, while the 2-inch pipe mount allows installation directly at the measurement point.

How to Specify & Commission It

  1. Mount the recorder on a 2-inch pipe at the test or measurement point and connect the pressure line to the 316 stainless steel pressure element.

  2. Load a 12-inch (300 mm) circular chart rated for the 0–2,500 psi range and fit the disposable felt-tip pen.

  3. Wind the mechanical clock, set it for 24-hour or 7-day rotation, and align the pen with the correct time line.

  4. Pressurise the system, allow the recorder to trace the test, then remove, sign and file the chart as the permanent record.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Barton 242E 0–2,500 psi recorder measure?
It records pressure from 0 to 2,500 psi using a single red pen, continuously tracing the pressure on a 12-inch circular chart.

Does this recorder need batteries or external power?
No. The chart is turned by a mechanical clock with 24-hour and 7-day rotation, so it operates without batteries or mains power.

What applications is a 0–2,500 psi chart recorder used for?
Typical applications include oilfield flowlines and separator trains, water-injection and fire-water networks, and hydrostatic testing of pipelines, hoses and vessels. It is suitable for jobs requiring a continuous, paper-based pressure record.

What is the pressure element made of?
The pressure element is 316 stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance for water, hydrocarbons and many process fluids.

Which Barton 242E range should I choose — 0–2,500 psi or 0–150 psi?
Choose a range appropriate for your normal working or test pressure. If the pressure can approach 2,500 psi, the 0–2,500 psi version is suitable; if pressure remains within the lower range, consider the 0–150 psi version.
