VD8TC Vacuum Tester for Thermocouples– Check Vacuum Barriers Quickly and Easily Thyracont Vacuum Instruments GmbH
The new VD8TC vacuum tester of the German instruments manufacturer Thyracont, now enables the bulk gas supplier’s field service staff to quickly and easily measure the vacuum level even if the sensors being used are from different manufacturers or have different measuring ranges.
The VD8TC is compatible with the most popular thermocouple vacuum sensors. With the press of one button, it automatically detects which sensor brand and model is connected. Within a few seconds a stable vacuum measurement is displayed. If desired, this measurement can be stored in the instrument’s data logger by one more push of the same button.
For monitoring multiple sensors, Thyracont offers their unique ADiscs (pat. pend.). This device attaches to each thermocouple sensor and provides an individual electronic identification. A USB interface enables the user to evaluate and document measurements with Thyracont’s VacuGraph™ Windows™ software on a PC. After each measurement, the date, time, sensor ID and pressure value are stored.
The VD8TC completes the successful VD8 product family, which includes five other compact vacuum meters with data logger and USB interface. These are based upon piezo resistive, Pirani or hybrid sensor technologies.
