Specification
Compressible Flow Range F300
The main unit consists of an instrumentation and control console that supplies a variable flow of compressed air to the range of optional modules. The unit provides common instrumentation for all of the options. Specialised instruments are included as required with the modules.
Note that the Hilton Single Stage Compressor F860 OR Two Stage Compressor F865 can be used as a suitable air supply for the entire Compressible Flow Range F300
