SPINNING ROTOR GAUGE _VIM-1 Spinning rotor gauge instrument
SENS4
SKU: VIM-1
Robust measurement system and full range combination measurement system
VIM-1 Spinning rotor gauge instrument
- Measurement range 1×10-6 to 10 mbar (7.5×10-7 to 7.5 Torr)
- Easy to use by one-button operation
- Corrosion resistant 316 stainless steel sensor
- Low-cost disposable sensor for industrial applications
