BAKER INSTRUMENTS

About BAKER INSTRUMENTS

Baker Instruments is a manufacturer of portable pressure calibration instruments and mechanical wire measuring tools. The company's product line is built around two core categories: handheld and analog pressure calibrators, and mechanical wire measurers with associated accessories. These instruments are used in field and shop environments for verifying pressure instrumentation and measuring flexible wires and metal cables. Baker Instruments products are distributed globally through industrial equipment suppliers, including 3G Electric.

The pressure calibrator range includes both standard handheld and analog models. The B1600 series measures pressure in inches of water (in H2O) with a range of 0 psi to 5.77 psi, while the B1800 series measures in psig with a range of 0 psi to 18 psi. Both series offer accuracy of ±2% to ±1.5% to ±2% and are supplied with a threaded fitting; the B1800 models also include a carrying case. The B1600-NIST and B1800-NIST variants are standard handheld pressure calibrators that include a threaded fitting and are not intrinsically safe. Analog versions, such as the B1600 and B1800, come with a carrying case, flex hose, and threaded fitting. These calibrators are designed for field calibration and verification of pressure instruments, providing a practical means of checking gauges, transmitters, and switches.

The wire measuring line centers on the B7000 mechanical wire measurer, which measures flex wires and metal cables in inches. The B7000 is a mechanical device that provides direct readings without requiring power. Supporting accessories include the B7000-RC replacement counter, which restores counting functionality to B7000 series wire measurers, and the B70X0-STAND wire stand, which provides a dedicated support structure to secure the instrument during operation. These accessories are compatible with the B7000 series and are used in cable manufacturing, electrical contracting, and wire processing applications.

Baker Instruments products are characterized by their mechanical simplicity and portability. The pressure calibrators are handheld or analog, not intrinsically safe, and are intended for use in general industrial environments. The wire measurers are mechanical, with inch-based readouts. 3G Electric supplies the Baker Instruments line as part of its industrial equipment catalog, offering global logistics support and quote-based procurement for plant engineers, maintenance managers, and procurement specialists. The product range covers common calibration and wire measurement needs, with part numbers and specifications listed for each item to facilitate selection and ordering.
