U.S. Military Branch Prefers WIKA W&T 1500 Differential Pressure Gauges
A branch of the U.S. military uses WIKA's Wallace & Tiernan Series 1500 Differential Pressure Gauges as an interface within high-altitude test instruments to verify calibration parameters for parachutists’ oxygen equipment.
A member of the U.S. military provided this feedback: “The series that we use are extremely reliable. We use them as the benchmark for calibrating and checking oxygen viability parameters within our parachutist high altitude life support systems, where critical flow rates in a typically hypoxic environment are paramount.Zero guesswork enables us to perform our missions safely, with optimum efficiency.”
WIKA's Wallace & Tiernan Series 1500 Differential Pressure Gauges have capsule-type pressure elements. High differential pressure is applied to the capsule; low pressure to the case. Available in 22 standard ranges, they combine aneroid conveniencewith liquid-column accuracy. They are also rugged enough to maintain their high accuracy in test and process applications.
