Pressure regulator minimizes contamination

IR4000 Series pressure regulator has no internal threads, minimizing the risk of particulate contamination. A dual screen/filter further enhances performance. The screen is a 100-micron wire mesh and the filter is a 10-micron sintered metal element in the inlet port. It uses a compression member to secure the poppet in place.

Calibrator operates with or without PDA

PDA calibrators use commercially available personal digital assistants (PDAs) for a common interface with an intuitive touch screen, eliminating the need for buttons and knobs. The calibrators can source and read common process signals. The PDA can be used independently of the calibrator backpacks. Data may be shared with a desktop computer for reports or a certification of calibration. Transmation Products Group; www.transmationinc.com
