Woburn, MA -  The GM70 Hand-Held Carbon Dioxide Meter accurately measures carbon dioxide from low (0…2000 ppm) concentrations to high (up to 20%) concentrations of CO2. Due to its short warm-up time, the GM70 is ideal for spot-checking measurements. Typical applications include laboratories, greenhouses, HVAC and industrial health investigations. In addition, the meter can be used as a tool for checking Vaisala’s GM20 and GM220 Series CO2 transmitters. The GM70 can also be used to adjust Vaisala’s GM220 Series transmitters in the field.

Vaisala's compact DM70 Hand-held Dewpoint Meter offers stable and fast measurement for industrial dewpoint applications. 

The DM70 Hand-held Dewpoint Meter's excellent stability and rapid response time make it ideal for temporary dewpoint measurements in industrial dewpoint spot-checking applications, such as compressed air lines and plastic molding processes. DM70 can also be used as a tool for reading the output of fixed Vaisala dewpoint transmitters, such as the DMT242 and DMP248. The DM70 incorporates Vaisala's advanced DRYCAP® technology, which is known for its reliable and high performance dewpoint measurement. DM70 features include: a wide measurement range, of -60 °C to +60 °C; a rapid response time between start-up from ambient conditions, to low and high process dewpoints; a versatile and easy-to-use, menu-based user interface; and a graphical LCD display with data-logger function. In addition, the probe withstands condensation and also measures directly in pressurized spaces.
