Main assembly with piston 4 kg + 2 kg,
set of weights 5.2 kg. Total 11.2 kg.
Packed dimensions:
0.11 m3 and 12 kg
Weights:
Four 1 kg weights, two 0.5 kg weights, one 0.2 kg weight
Bourdon gauge scale:
Graduated in 0 to 200 kN.m–2 in 10 kN.m–2 intervals.
Bourdon tube arc:
Approximately 270º

Note: TecQuipment individually machines the cylinder and
piston of each product to a high tolerance. Therefore they
are not interchangeable between units.
