Why buy the PT-DPM instead of a sling psychrometer, surface thermometer and weather tables?
A. The PT-DPMis… Faster while these devices take several minutes each to stabilize per measurement, the PT-DPM displays all 5 values in mere seconds. Simpler no need for… counting revolutions per second in a timed interval using de-ionized water using a slide-rule calculator waiting minutes for a surface thermometer to stabilize reading analog scales looking up values in a cross reference table Easier one handed design with a large LCD More Accurate tighter tolerances on all values. Values are no longer subject to operator interpretation. Be aware that some temperature gages DO NOT meet the accuracy requirement specified by ISO 8502-4. Versatile unlike a sling psychrometer, the PT-DPM works well in cold environments. The handy Internal Memory and Data Logger Mode make record keeping easy. An optional magnetic surface temperature kit allows the gage and a surface temperature probe to be conveniently attached onto steel structures for hands free recording.
