Hand-Held Barometer / Altimeter
Model 230-355


The Model 230-355 Handheld Barometer & Altimeter combines accurate pressure sensing with the power of microprocessor-based computations to provide instantaneous pressure and altitude readings. A combination of small size, digital display, versatility, and high accuracy make it ideal for field measurements or as a portable pressure reference.Keypad controls provide access to the operating functions. Pressure or altitude may be displayed in a variety of units. The LCD display shows the data output and operating mode. This instrument measures atmospheric pressure very accurately, to within 0.01" Hg. Altitude is computed using the U.S. Standard Atmosphere of 1962. The altitude function used with the min/max and tare make the unit useful as a surveyors tool.Airport altimeter setting is computed and displayed based on an entered altitude. Change in pressure or altitude can be continuously displayed. The device is temperature compensated over its operating temperature range.The 316 stainless steel pressure sensor has extremely low sensitivity to shock, vibration, acceleration, and changes in orientation or temperature, yet features high sensitivity to pressure variations. Each unit comes with a certificate of calibration traceable to NIST.
