The instrument can be used as a Pressure Chamber or as a Cavitation Chamber by simply switching a valve. This unique design allows the user to have both instruments in one unit at a cheaper cost than buying the two instruments separate.
The instrument can be connected directly to a Nitrogen Cylinder with 207 Bar/3000 PSI pressure. The Digital Gauge offers features such as back lighting and multiple pressure scales (Bar, PSI or MPa).
Instrument comes fitted with our most popular sealing gasket size – 1/4 inch Compression Gland Gasket and Insert. This gasket will seal a sample that is up to 1/4” diameter. If you need other sealing options such as bladed grass or other semi-round sizes check our other options.
This is a specialty instrument that will benefit the user who is doing both Cavitation work and Pressure Chamber work. The instrument requires a compressed nitrogen source. You can use it in a lab or green house with a large cylinder or buy our light weight Portable Tank to allow for field work.

The rubber gaskets slide down the sample and seat inside the chamber.
The metal “inserts” slide down behind the gaskets to help them seal.
The caps screw down to finish the seal and hold everything in place.
The final product looks like this.
The sample must be at least 4.25 inches to properly pass through the chamber.
