FKT 3DP1A Multi-Range Meter
The FKT 3DP1A is a unique instrument optimized for high accuracy pressure and velocity measurement. The meter has four independent pressure transducers installed, giving unmatched measurement ability and accuracy. Simply specify transducers with pressure ranges optimized for your measurements. The meter also calculates velocity (actual and standard), humidity and actually calculates density. The FKT 3DP1A can even be used for measurements in gases other than air.
Features
- Simultaneous measurement and display of
- Up to three differential (or static or gauge) pressures simultaneously.
- Up to three independent velocities (actual or standard) using Pitot, S type, Kiel or RAP probes.
- Temperature.
- Relative Humidity.
- Atmospheric pressure (or absolute pressure).
- Real time display of true density including effects of temperature and water vapor.
- True auto-zero function. Internal valve removes pressure or velocity offsets. Your reference level never changes ensuring unmatched accuracy and reliability.
- Multiple pressure transducers allow for exceptional accuracy for both pressure and velocity measurement. Simply use a transducer that fits your measurement range. You do not need to measure near the low end of the transducer’s range any longer.
- Density calculation for gases other than air.
- K factor for non-unity probes. Allows use of S type probes for dirty environments.
- Easy user calibration.
- Effective averaging function for unsteady or turbulent flows.
- Overload protection: Pressure overloads cause the meter to automatically enter the auto-zero cycle, reducing the potential for transducer damage.
- No menus – exceptionally intuitive prompt driven operation.
- English and Metric units.
- Large variable contrast 4 line LCD display.
- Portable with neck strap for hands free operation; great for mobility in the work place.
- Rugged water resistant case.
- Full data logging capability with Excel ® add-in. Stand-alone FlowScan application performs logging; plotting, prompt driven duct Pitot probe surveys and even creates instant reports.
