DPI 740

DPI 740 is a Druck product. Druck
has joined other GE high-technology
sensing businesses under a new
name—GE Sensing.

The DPI 740 is a portable battery powered precision
barometer, providing outstanding capabilities in a hand
held package. The fundamental sensor technology
employed within this instrument is the Druck resonant
pressure transducer (RPT). This vibrating element sensor
not only provides accuracies of ±0.004 inHg (±0.15 mbar)
but equally important has a calibration stability of better
than 100 ppm per year. The DPI 740 is widely used in
laboratory and remote field applications for precision
pressure reference.
