Keller LEO 1 digital pressure peak gauge

Bestech Australia has introduced LEO 1 — the microprocessor-controlled digital pressure peak gauge from Keller. The device is able to detect pressure peak under short durations (~0.2 ms) and is suitable for measuring burst pressure of PET bottles in the food and beverage industry.

The LEO 1 offers a user-friendly interface with access to the entire range of functions. The digital display automatically updates twice every second, showing the measured value and the maximum or minimum value attained. The user can also choose from a choice of five different measurement units and neutralise the stored extreme value at the start of recording. It is available with an IP 65 housing and an optional protective cover for outdoor operations.

The device has dual operational modes; normal or continuous. Under normal operation, the device switches off automatically after 15 minutes of inactivity to extend battery life when continuous operation is not required. Under continuous operation, it is capable of operating 1400 h continuously in manometer mode and up to 180 h in peak value mode. In addition, LEO 1 has a unique zero tare feature, which allows the user to set to zero at any given pressure. This gives the actual value as pressure deviation from the zero tare, which is a useful feature in practice.

Key features include: operating temperature 0 to 50°C, measurement speed 5 kHz, pressure range -1 to 3 bar up to 0 to 1000 bar and ATEX approved for use in hazardous environments.
