GE Announces Next Generation, Multi-Function Hand Pump
Summary: New Model Improves Pressure Control for Remote Pressure Calibrations
New Fairfield, Connecticut - June 2, 2003 - - GE Druck, a unit of GE Industrial Systems and the General Electric Company (NYSE: GE) and a leading provider of precision pressure sensors and related test/calibration instruments, announced today the release of the new PV411A, the second generation of multi-function hand pumps.
The new PV411A is used in a variety of applications including field calibration of pressure gauges, switches, transmitters and transducers, and provides a four-in-one capability that distinguishes it from all other pumps on the market. This new model now boasts exceptional fine pressure control, the ability to operate with high viscosity fluids, a new large volume reservoir option and a tamper proof, field selectable pressure relief valve.
This field-tested and time proven hand pump is the single source for multiple tasks. Hydraulic pressures can effortlessly be generated to 10,000 psi as well as pneumatic pressures to 600 psi, vacuum to 28.5 inhg and draft range pressures, all in a single pump.
Lightweight, yet rugged, the versatile 411A features a vacuum priming function, which removes trapped air from within the system, a common problem associated with conventional hand pumps.
