Handy Atmosphere SP

The Handy Atmosphere SP is a hand-held meter designed to measure the oxygen of the gas in food packages.

The probe is fixed to the meter inside a measurement chamber with a needle. The probe acts as the piston of a pump, drawing sample gas into the chamber when the meter and chamber are pulled apart.

Signal processing is performed using a microprocessor, which gives a number of advantages.

 

Just as with other Handy instruments you can simply switch on and measure, but the use of microprocessor technology enables measurements to be supported by a range of advanced functions designed to make things even easier for you:

 

Automatic Calibration
Automatic Probe Check
Choice of Language
Barometric Pressure Compensation
Automatic self-check
Extremely long battery life
