| | pressure drop | Explanation:
It depends on the context and the type of dust collector, but it could be pressure drop:
"Pressure drop, or differential pressure, is the amount of static
resistance experienced when operating a positive or negative pressure baghouse (dustcollector). This pressure drop is typically measured across the filter bags in inches of water column (in.
w.c.). Examples of some standard gauges used for this monitoring are a Magnehelic¨
gauge, Photohelic¨ switch/gauge and manometer. Pressure drop is a good indicator
regarding the amount of dust that has collected on the filter media, and if continually monitored and logged, the condition of the bags themselves."
