Circular Chart Recorders are a configurable product. Please review our Order Guide and choose the pressure ranges, chart rotation speed, and other specifications needed to build and quote a complete recorder.

Description

Palmer Circular Chart Recorders are durable, fully mechanical units with a low maintenance design.  Housed in a Pelican® brand case and available in 8 inch and 12 inch chart sizes, these recorders are lightweight and easy to carry.

Pelican® brand case circular chart recorders are crush resistant and dust-proof with double throw latches and water tight O-ring seal for protection in harsh environments.  The automatic pressure equalization valve releases built-up pressure and prevents moisture intrusion.  Ideal for transporting to the job site, Pelican® brand cases feature rubber over-molded handle for comfort, open cell core with solid wall design for strength, with heavy duty deflector ribs to protect against shock and impact.  Exterior stainless steel hardware and padlock protectors.  Internals are all stainless steel - corrosion resistant with micro-adjustable wire linkage.

Available with up to 3 pens, all  pressure elements are made of 316SS.  All temperature elements have a 300 Series stainless steel bulb, interconnection capillary, and armor available. Choose between Mercury filled and Mercury Free temperature systems. View temperature recorder bulb options.

All systems are field replaceable.

Choose from our three available Pelican® case mounting styles: portable, pipestand, or wall mount.

Choose from a variety of recorder drives to configure your recorder.  Our most popular option is the PC-11 C-Cell battery powered, eleven speed motor with speeds of 60 minutes, 96 minutes, 12 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, 8 days, 14 days, 16 days, 31 days or 32 days.  Our PC-12 C-Cell battery powered, twelve speed motor offers speeds of 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 8 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 3 days, 4 days, and 7 days.  Spring wound drives are available with rotations of 12 hours / 7 days.
