GRAPHIC CONTROLS

Graphic Controls is a manufacturer of data recording consumables and industrial printing products, with a history in the chart recorder supply market. The brand is known for producing chart paper, pens, inks, and ribbons that serve as aftermarket consumables for process recorders and data loggers. Graphic Controls products are used in applications where continuous, physical records of process variables are required, such as temperature, pressure, flow, and other analog signals. The product families include strip chart paper in roll and fanfold formats, circular chart paper, recorder pens (disposable and refillable), and thermal printer ribbons. These consumables are engineered to match the dimensional and grid specifications of major recorder brands, including Eurotherm Chessell, Yokogawa, Honeywell, and others. Technical buyers select Graphic Controls consumables based on compatibility with specific recorder models, paper width, grid color, and packaging format. For example, strip chart paper may be supplied in rolls or fanfold packs, with widths such as 4 3/4 inches or 10 13/16 inches, and grid colors like gray for clear trace visibility. The paper is designed to work with the recorder's pen or thermal printhead, ensuring accurate registration and legibility over time. 3G Electric supplies the Graphic Controls line as part of its industrial equipment catalog, offering global access to these consumables. The product range includes items compatible with Eurotherm Chessell models 300, 320, 340, 4102C, and 4200, among others. Each SKU is specified with manufacturer part numbers, strip chart width, grid color, and pack quantity to facilitate correct ordering. 3G Electric supports the line by maintaining inventory and providing technical specifications for each item, enabling maintenance managers and procurement specialists to identify the correct consumable for their recorder. The brand's consumables are used in industries such as manufacturing, energy, water treatment, and food processing, where recorders are part of process monitoring and control systems. Graphic Controls products are not limited to a single region; they are available worldwide through distributors like 3G Electric. The focus is on providing reliable consumables that meet the form, fit, and function requirements of the original recorder specifications. This includes paper with pre-printed grids that align with the recorder's time and scale markings, ensuring that data is recorded accurately and can be interpreted correctly. The pens and ribbons are formulated to provide consistent ink flow or thermal transfer, reducing smudging and extending the life of the recorder. For procurement, the availability of multi-pack quantities, such as 5-pack, 24-pack, or 2-pack, allows for inventory management based on usage rates. 3G Electric's catalog includes detailed specifications for each Graphic Controls item, such as the manufacturer part number, compatible recorder model, and physical dimensions.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about GRAPHIC CONTROLS from 3G Electric.

What types of Graphic Controls strip chart paper are available for Eurotherm Chessell recorders?

Graphic Controls offers strip chart paper in roll and fanfold formats for various Eurotherm Chessell models. For example, the 5MEV4 is a roll paper compatible with model 300, 4 3/4 inches wide with a gray grid, supplied in a 5-pack. The 5MEW4 is a fanfold paper for model 320, available in a 24-pack. Other options include fanfold paper for model 300 (5MEV5, 2-pack), roll paper for model 340 (5MEV9), and both roll and fanfold paper for model 4200 (5MEW2, 5MEW1) with a width of 10 13/16 inches. Each product lists the manufacturer part number and compatible model to ensure correct selection.

How do I choose the correct Graphic Controls chart paper for my recorder?

To select the correct Graphic Controls chart paper, identify your recorder's manufacturer and model number, then match it to the compatible model listed in the product specifications. Also consider the paper width, which must match the recorder's chart width, and the grid color, typically gray for standard visibility. Packaging format (roll or fanfold) and pack quantity should align with your usage and storage preferences. For instance, if you have a Eurotherm Chessell 4200 recorder, you would look for paper with a width of 10 13/16 inches, such as SKU 5MEW2 (roll) or 5MEW1 (fanfold). Always verify the manufacturer part number to ensure compatibility.

Are Graphic Controls pens and ribbons available for Yokogawa and Honeywell recorders?

Yes, Graphic Controls produces pens and ribbons for a range of recorder brands, including Yokogawa and Honeywell. These consumables are designed to meet the specifications of the original equipment, ensuring proper fit and function. While the sample products shown here focus on chart paper for Eurotherm Chessell, the broader Graphic Controls line includes writing instruments and thermal ribbons for other major recorder brands. For specific part numbers and compatibility, consult the product listings or contact 3G Electric with your recorder model details.

What is the difference between roll and fanfold Graphic Controls strip chart paper?

Roll and fanfold refer to the packaging format of the strip chart paper. Roll paper is supplied on a core and is typically used in recorders with a spindle or roll feed mechanism. Fanfold paper is pre-folded in a stack, allowing continuous feed without a roll, and is often used in recorders with a fanfold tray. Both formats provide the same recording surface and grid pattern. The choice depends on your recorder's paper feed design. For example, the Eurotherm Chessell 300 can use either roll (5MEV4) or fanfold (5MEV5) paper, while the 4200 has both roll (5MEW2) and fanfold (5MEW1) options. Check your recorder's manual for the recommended format.

Can I order Graphic Controls chart paper in bulk quantities?

Graphic Controls chart paper is available in various pack quantities to suit different usage rates. The sample products include packs of 2, 5, and 24 units. For higher volume needs, larger pack sizes or multiple packs can be ordered. 3G Electric supplies these items globally, and procurement specialists can request quotes for bulk quantities. When ordering, specify the manufacturer part number and pack quantity to ensure you receive the correct product. Bulk ordering can help reduce per-unit costs and ensure continuous availability for critical process recording.

What industries use Graphic Controls chart paper and consumables?

Graphic Controls chart paper and consumables are used in industries that rely on chart recorders for process monitoring and documentation. This includes manufacturing (e.g., monitoring temperature in ovens or pressure in reactors), energy production (e.g., recording flow rates or emissions), water and wastewater treatment (e.g., logging pH or chlorine levels), and food processing (e.g., tracking pasteurization temperatures). Any application where a physical record of a process variable is required for quality control, compliance, or troubleshooting can utilize these consumables. The paper is compatible with recorders from Eurotherm Chessell, Yokogawa, Honeywell, and others, making it suitable for a wide range of installed instrumentation.
