PPC-1000 Programmable-Pressure Controller

[Product Image]

The PPC-1000 is an easy to use programmable-pressure generator and controller. Pressure levels from -300 mmHg to +300 mmHg are generated by a stepping motor-driven bellows, thereby eliminating the need for a pressure source. This stand alone system is ideally suited for small fixed volume applications where programmable pressure levels are required to be set rapidly
