Abstract: A differential pressure indicator for use with a filter providing dual indication to indicate both a bypass condition as well as an impending bypass condition. The indicator includes a pressure detector in the form of a piston carrying a pair of permanent magnets. A pair of cylinders each carrying a permanent magnet are concentrically disposed around the permanent magnets carried by the piston. As the differential pressure increases, the piston moves pulling the permanent magnets affixed thereto through the concentrically disposed magnets and as a result of magnetic force interaction the concentrically disposed cylinders move to expose first one and then the other of the cylinders to provide the signals representative of the impending bypass as well as bypass differential pressure being sensed.
