Where portability is of overriding importance, the Type 6 is the
answer. Its lightweight aluminium chassis/limb assembly is mounted on a
pressed steel base, and with the moulded ABS cover in place the weight is
less than 2.5 kg. Despite its portability no compromise in precision has
been permitted, and the Type 6 is calibrated to the same high standards as
the larger models.
The adjustable limb can be used either vertically (0-2000 Pascals) or
inclined (0-200 Pascals) and the clip-on velocity scale covers the range
up to 18.4 m/s. The 305 mm long pitot static tube is fitted with sliding
markers, and clips into the cover when not in use. Also housed inside the
cover is the velocity scale together with connecting tubing and spare
gauge fluid with funnel. The instrument has a built-in levelling device
with spirit level, a fluid-zeroing control and fluid-tight transit caps.
