H12-8 - Portable Pressure Meter

A versatile, hand held, battery operated portable pressure meter capable of measuring pressures of water or air from 0 - 2000mBar (0 - 1500mmHg).

This unit is particularly suitable for use in applications where Mercury manometers have traditionally been used. The use of Mercury is not desirable in a laboratory environment due to its hazardous nature.

DESCRIPTION

A battery operated portable pressure meter suitable for measuring gauge (single input) or differential (dual inputs) pressures of air or water.

Measurement capacity is up to 2Bar differentially and the unit is capable of withstanding 6Bar on either port without damage.

Housed in a robust, waterproof case and designed to be hand held. Supplied with connections to suit 6mm flexible hose.

An adjustable zero value eliminates offset and an averaging filter function provides steady readings in situations where the pressure is fluctuating. Readings can be displayed in alternative pressure units.

A calibration certificate referred to National Physical Laboratory (NPL: 5 point calibration) or United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS: 10 point calibration) standards can be supplied if ordered with the meter.
