"Precision
with Portability""Precision
with Portability"Where portability is of overriding importance, the Type 6 is the answer. Its lightweight aluminium chassis/limb assembly is mounted on a pressed steel base, and with the moulded ABS cover in place the weight is less than 2.5 kg. Despite its portability no compromise in precision has been permitted, and the Type 6 is calibrated to the same high standards as the larger models.
The adjustable limb can be used either vertically (0-2000 Pascals) or inclined (0-200 Pascals) and the clip-on velocity scale covers the range up to 18.4 m/s. The 305 mm long pitot static tube is fitted with sliding markers, and clips into the cover when not in use. Also housed inside the cover is the velocity scale together with connecting tubing and spare gauge fluid with funnel. The instrument has a built-in levelling device with spirit level, a fluid-zeroing control and fluid-tight transit caps.
