Description
Palmer Circular Chart Recorders are durable, fully mechanical units with a low maintenance design. The heavy aluminum, die cast and powder coated cases are all-welded construction to prevent deterioration, and available in 8 inch and 12 inch chart sizes. Each unit is handcrafted, made to order in our Asheville, NC USA factory
Available with up to 3 pens, all pressure elements are made of 316SS and are field replaceable. Choose from our five available case mounting styles: wall, flush, pipestand, portable, or pedestal.
Our circular chart recorders are built with weatherproof construction, including a heavy lockable door with weatherstripping, with or without a window. Designed for outdoor use, the rugged design withstands high levels of vibration and includes one-half inch screened air vent holes in the case, adjustable door pull latch with available locking hasp, all stainless steel corrosion resistant internals, and micro-adjustable wire linkage.
